Should I Be Tested For STDs?
Wondering whether you have a sexually transmitted disease or STD can be an extremely stressful event. It's often easy to confuse the symptoms of STDS with other vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis or vaginal yeast infections, making it urgent that you consult with your gynecologists anytime you are unsure about reproductive health issues.

What Should I Know About STDs?
Everyone, young or old, rich or poor, sexually active or not, needs to know a few important facts about sexually transmitted diseases. It's particularly important that, if we are parents, we spend time throughout our children's lives discussing these issues in an age-appropriate manner.

What Are The Consequences Of STDs?
There are several consequences of having sexually transmitted diseases. Find out what can happen if STDs are not treated promptly.

Making Safe Sexual Choices
Many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are out there, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS. Considering that 15.3 million new cases of STDs are diagnosed each year, it is extremely important for you and your partner to protect yourselves.
