Should You Get Tested?

STIs often have no symptoms, so you may not know you have one.

You're at higher risk if you have a new partner, multiple partners, or a partner who has an STI. You may also consider the following CDC recommendations:

• Everyone ages 13 to 64 years should be tested at least once for HIV.
• All sexually active women younger than 25 years should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia every year.
• Women 25 years and older with any of the risk factors listed above should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia every year.
• Anyone who shares injection drug equipment should be tested at least once a year for HIV.
