Do you have to do an STI test?
An STI test is the only way to know for sure whether or not you have an STI. You can have an STI without being affected by anything, but then you are infectious to others. It is therefore wise to have an STI test done when:
- You have had unsafe sex
- You have symptoms such as warts, blisters, burning pee or more discharge than normal
- The condom is torn
- You are in a new relationship and want to have sex without a condom
- You have been warned
- You are pregnant and do not want to transmit any STI to your child
