Quick answer
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pass between partners during sexual contact. Some cause symptoms such as unusual discharge, sores, itching, burning when passing urine or pelvic pain, but many cause none. Get tested if you have symptoms, a new partner or a partner with an infection. Condoms, testing and open communication reduce the risk. Always see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Key takeaways- Many STIs have no symptoms; testing is the only way to know.
- See a doctor for any unusual discharge, sores, pain or burning.
- Condoms and regular testing reduce risk.
- Most STIs are treatable when found early.
