The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 1 million STIs are transmitted every day. Being sexually active and engaging in unprotected sexual activity can increase your risk of contracting an STI. The best way to know for sure if you have a STI is to get tested regularly if you are sexually active.

Reducing Your Risk

STI testing can help keep you healthy and prevent the spread of STIs. Depending on your risk factors, annual STI testing may be recommended for you. If you are sexually active, have an honest and open discussion with your healthcare provider to determine when STI testing is right for you.

 

Abstaining from sex or following safe sex practices including using condoms correctly every time and, being in mutually monogamous relationship with partner who has been tested are the best way to prevent getting a sexually transmitted infection.

Additionally, avoiding sharing used needles, syringes, and other injection equipment. People who share needles and syringes when inject drugs could face higher risk of getting infections such as Hepatitis C and HIV.
