Most Common Asymptomatic Sexually Transmitted Infections (Asymptomatic STIs)

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.
There is a High Risk of Infection
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.
What are STIs that mostly show no symptoms?
- Chlamydia (A-K)
- Chlamydia (L1-L3 that causes LGV)
- Trichomoniasis
- Herpes (is transmissible even when a person isn’t having an outbreak.)
- HPV (is transmissible even when a person isn’t having a warty lesion.)
- HIV (is transmissible even when a person isn’t having any symptoms.)
- Mycoplasma infections
- Ureaplasma infections

Screening Is Essential
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.
