We at the Women’s Clinic provide low-cost STI testing and treatment. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be a serious concern.
If STI/STDs are left untreated, infections can cause irreversible damage to your reproductive system. It’s important not to wait too long after suspecting infection. We’re here to offer non-judgemental and compassionate care.
STI & STD INFORMATION
Sexually transmitted diseases are diseases passed from person to person during sexual activity. STDs can be transmitted through bodily fluids and, in some cases, skin-to-skin contact.
It’s important to remember that not everyone infected with an STD will experience signs or symptoms. But STDs can still cause severe damage and can be passed to your partner(s) without your knowledge. You don’t need to be experiencing symptoms to be contagious. You can spread the disease at any time, so STD testing is important for sexually active individuals.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN sti and std?
The terms STI (sexually transmitted infection) and STD (sexually transmitted disease) are often used interchangeably. But do you know the difference?
The term “STI” (sexually transmitted infection) is used to describe the presence of an infection in the body, which may or may not be accompanied by symptoms. The term “STD” (sexually transmitted diseases), on the other hand, describes an infection that has caused damage in a person’s body—though, like sexually transmitted infections, an STD may or may not be accompanied by symptoms.
