Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are serious and may cause lasting damage to your body if not treated. Some STIs infect only your sexual and/or reproductive organs, but others can cause damage throughout the entire body. When left untreated, STI’s can cause life-threatening consequences.
Contact a health care provider if you or your partner has been diagnosed with an STI or experiencing symptoms of an STI, such as unusual sores, abnormal discharge, burning when urinating, or bleeding between periods.
The good news is STIs can be treated. The best gift you and your partner can give one another is to get tested. Selfcare is health care!
