It's STI Awareness Month! Here's a quick refresh on common STIs, their symptoms, and treatments. A few tips for protecting yourself and others: - Get tested regularly. Often the most common symptom is having *no* symptoms at all, which is why it's incredibly important to be tested frequently for early detection and treatment (check out our site for at-home test kits) - Use barrier methods during sex, like condoms and dental dams - Ask new (and current) partners about their STI status and communicate yours. Avoid using language like "I'm clean" which perpetuates stigma, opt for phrasing like, "I don't have any STIs.", or "My STI results were negative." - The information provided here is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
