We all know talking about STDs can be awkward and sometimes feels embarrassing. Do not let those feelings stop you from getting tested and talking with someone about STDs. It is very important to know you and your partners’ status before engaging in any sexual activities. Getting tested regularly is the only way to know if you have an STD. Remember getting tested means you are taking care of your health. Selfcare is healthcare!
