Did you know that...
It is important to get tested every time you change sexual partners.
To avoid surprises and complications that could have serious lifelong consequences, it is recommended that you get tested for STBIs every time you change sexual partners.
Several sexually transmitted diseases do not cause any symptoms. For this reason alone, it is important to get screened. Screening remains essential for a healthy sex life.
In addition, early detection of a sexually transmitted or blood-borne infection (STBI) can allow you to take quick action to promote healing. This will prevent complications and also prevent transmission to your partners. At the same time, you will avoid the inconvenience of having to contact them to inform them of the situation.
