What is an STD?

STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) are diseases that are spread by having sex with someone who has an STD.

• The estimated number of people living with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States is over 65 million.
• Every year, there are approximately 15 million new cases of STD's, some of which are curable.
• About 66% of all STD's occur in people 25 years of age or younger.
• One in four new STD infections occur in teenagers.
• Hepatitis B is 100 times more infectious than HIV.
• At least 1 in 4 Americans will contract a sexually transmitted disease at some point in their lives.

STD testing is a great way to provide you peace of mind if you think you may have been exposed to an STD.

Do not assume that you or your partner is not infected just because you do not have any symptoms.  STDs can be present for years before they become symptomatic, so the only way to know for sure if you or your partner has an STD is to get tested.
