Where to Get Tested?
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that if you have been sexually active you should have a medical checkup to test for disease. If you continue to be sexually active you need a checkup every 6 months. Remember, many STDs do not have symptoms and you could still be infected even though you notice no signs and are not sick.
Your family physician can test for STDs. Also, most local health departments provide STD testing. Call your doctor or county health department if you have been sexually active to make an appointment.
