Why STD Testing Matters for Your Health

Sexual activity puts you at risk not only for unplanned pregnancy, but also for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Regular STD screening helps detect infections early when they’re most treatable.

Many STDs are completely curable when caught early. Even those that aren’t curable can be managed with proper treatment. The sooner you know your status, the sooner you can protect your health and your future.

Taking charge of your sexual health isn’t embarrassing—it’s responsible. 

How Often Should I Get Tested for STDs?

Healthcare experts recommend regular STD testing for anyone who is sexually active. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests[3]:

  • Annual testing for sexually active women under 25
  • Annual testing for sexually active women over 25 with new or multiple partners
  • Early testing for pregnant women (for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C)

Why You Need to Get Tested for STDs Before Abortion

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering abortion, you need to get tested for STDs first. Here’s why:

  • Prevent complications: Untreated STDs can cause serious complications during abortions.[4]
  • Protect future fertility: Some STDs, if left untreated, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and eventually, infertility.[5]
  • Ensure proper treatment: Knowing your STD status allows healthcare providers to give you the most appropriate care.
