Who Should Get STD Testing?
The CDC recommends STD screening for:
- All sexually active adults with new or multiple partners
- Anyone who has had unprotected sex
- Men who have sex with men (MSM) — at least annual screening
- Pregnant women — screening at first prenatal visit
- Anyone with STD symptoms (discharge, sores, burning, pelvic pain)
- Anyone notified by a partner who tested positive
Many STDs have no symptoms. Routine testing is the only way to know your status.
