Most people experience NO symptoms, the only way to be sure is to get tested regularly.
STIs are normally transmitted due to unprotected sex. Practicing safer sex can drastically reduce your risk; however, it isn’t foolproof protection!
They can be transmitted by vaginal, anal, or oral sex, through sharing sex toys that have not been washed, or by infected semen or vaginal fluid getting into your eye. Infected mothers can also pass onto her unborn baby.
STI’s affects around 50% of sexually active individuals. Some organisms are present in (almost) everyone’s urinary tract in small quantities. However, in higher quantities, it can cause an infection which can be transmitted sexually.
In immune-compromised individuals, rarer symptoms can present, such as joint pain and respiratory problems.
You should get tested if:
If you have symptoms you should get a test straight away. If your symptoms are severe, you should visit a health care provider to avoid complications.
Approx. 5/10 men and 7/10 women infected with Chlamydia will not present with any symptoms.
Around 1 in 10 men and 50% of women infected with Gonorrhoea do not show any symptoms.
They can easily be spread to partners so it’s important to get tested regularly.
If not treated early, sexually transmitted infections can become serious.
In women:
Untreated STI’s can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and fertility issues.
In men:
It is possible for STI’s to cause urethritis (inflammation in the urethra) or epididymitis (infection to the testicles causing them to become swollen and painful). In addition the infection can spread to the prostate gland which can lead to infertility.
Untreated Gonorrhea and Trichomonas infections can also increase the risk of catching or transmitting HIV.

A positive test indicates you have an active infection that requires treatment with antibiotics.
A negative test means that there is no evidence of infection at the time of the test. If you are at an increased risk, it is important that you have screening tests performed regularly to check for possible infection, especially since re-infection is common, particularly among younger ages. If you are infected, your sexual partner should be tested and treated as well.
It is also important that your current sexual partner and recent sexual partners also get treated.
