Take care of yourself on #selfcaresunday by #gettingtested

Believe it or not, STIs are often asymptomatic! If you are or recently have been sexually active, get tested!

Information on how to get tested: www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-h...

Check out episode 204: When should I get tested?

The most common symptom of STIs is having no symptoms at all. Anybody who has sex can get STIs, and some can be spread even if there’s only skin-on-skin action between genitals without passing fluids. Testing is the only way to know for sure if someone has an STI.
