Who should be tested for STIs?

If you’ve been sexually active, it’s a good idea to be tested for STIs. It’s especially important to get tested if:

• You’re about to begin a new relationship
• You and your partner are thinking about not using condoms
• Your partner has cheated on you or has multiple partners
• You have multiple partners
• You have symptoms that suggest you might have an STI

If you’re in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship, and both you and your partner were tested before entering the relationship, you may not need regular STI testing. But many people in long-term relationships weren’t tested before they got together. If that’s the case for you and your partner, it’s possible that one or both of you have been carrying an undiagnosed STI for years. The safest choice is to get tested.
