The CDC recommends that everyone test at least once, and you should test more often if you have multiple sex partners or use needles for drug use.

Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious. Treatment is usually for possible infection or to manage symptoms.

STIs are the most common cause of genital sores, but allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, fungal infections and many other conditions may, too.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is medication that people who are at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may take to prevent infection.

STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a barrier to germs. STDs need unclothed, genital skin-to-skin contact or penetration to transmit.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral medication that may help prevent HIV infection if taken shortly after exposure.

Genital herpes can spread through direct, unclothed, skin-to-skin contact, including oral, vagin*l and anal sex.

Millions of people are diagnosed with at least one sexually transmitted disease (STD), or infection (STI) in the United States each year.

Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging. Some infections can be considered STDs, but are also transmitted non-sexually.
