Free STD Testing Near You in Wentzville, MO

If you’ve been sexually active, it’s important for your sexual health to know if you have an STD. You may experience some of the more common symptoms if you have an infection:

• Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina.
• Pain or a burning sensation during urination or sex.
• Sores, bumps, or rashes in the genital area, mouth, or anus.
• Persistent itching in the genital area.
• Swelling or redness in the genital area.

It’s critical to know that many STDs can be asymptomatic, with some diseases up to 80% being undetected per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO). To avoid worsening symptoms or infecting partners, get tested for confirmation. Positive test results are really the only true way of determining an infection. Regular testing is crucial, especially if you have multiple partners or are engaging in unprotected sex.
