The uncertainty of not knowing if you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) can be overwhelming when you're considering an abortion. Before making any decisions, it's essential to prioritize STI testing. Let's delve into the world of STIs to answer any questions you may have.
Sexually transmitted infections (STI’s), previously known as sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) are infections or diseases that are passed between individuals through anal, oral, and vaginal sex, mutual masturbation, and outercourse. Some STI’s cause a person to have symptoms, such as pain or burning during urination, vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and more. However, STI’s are sometimes “silent”, meaning a person could be asymptomatic (without symptoms). Untreated STI’s can cause serious health issues, which is why it is important to be tested even if you are not experiencing symptoms.
