Asymptomatic Sexually Transmitted Infection. Many STIs have no signs or symptoms. Even with no symptoms, however, you can pass the infections.

A lot of people believe that they know they have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) because they notice any STD symptoms. Sadly, that isn't so. The incredible frequency of asymptomatic STDs is one of the factors that makes STDs so common.
The truth is, when STD awareness is based on symptoms alone, most people with a sexually transmitted disease don't even know that they are sick. It is not uncommon for someone to be infected but have no STD symptoms. In other words, they are asymptomatic
Asymptomatic STDs are more common than not. There is a very high prevalence of symptom-free STD infections. People can be, and often are, infected with an STD for many years without knowing it. During that time, if they're not careful, they can pass their disease on to some or all of their sex partners.
STDs are not transmitted every time people have sex, but they can spread rapidly. For example, if an infected person engages in unprotected sex with a new partner each year, and each of those partners does the same, the original person could potentially pass their STD to over 1,000 individuals in just 10 years.
If each person has unprotected sex with two new partners annually, that number rises to more than 59,000. There are 20 million new STD cases reported each year in the USA.

The only way to determine if you or your partner has an STD is through testing. Before entering a new sexual relationship, both you and your partner need to get tested for the most common STDs.
If you’re not comfortable seeing your regular doctor, you can also get tested at a family planning or STD clinic. Many clinics offer free or low-cost testing for individuals with limited incomes.
Even if your test results are negative, the best way to maintain that status is by consistently practicing safer sex. Keep in mind that it can take time for STD tests to show accurate results. Additionally, having multiple sexual partners increases the risk of exposure.
Our STD PCR Multiplex test offers advanced technology to detect up to 28 infections, including Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Herpes Simplex, Trichomonas, and Candida strains, all in one test. It can identify infections in various anatomical areas, such as the throat, urethra, anorectal region, vagina, cervix, sperm, and skin lesions. For urethral infections, the Urine PCR is recommended, while the Throat Swab PCR is ideal after oral sex. Anal Swab PCR is advised for unprotected anal sex, and the Vaginal Swab PCR is recommended for vaginal sex, with staff guidance available for all tests.
