How do I know if I have an STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection)?
STI’s are tricky. In general you want to look for S.I. G. N.S.:
S – Skin changes, like sores, bumps, or rashes
I – Irritation (or burning) when you urinate
G – Genital Itching
N – Noticeable pelvic pain (for women)
S – Sex organ discharge
STI’s most often fall into general categories – Bacterial, like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis, which are treated with antibiotics; Viral, like Genital Warts or HPV, Herpes and HIV. Herpes and HIV are both treated with antivirals. The viral STIs are more difficult to manage though, and early treatment after exposure is best.
