back to top Zero symptoms, doesn't necessarily mean zero STDs.

There are many diseases and infections that can be passed between sexual partners, often without either partner realising. Sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/ STIs) are usually very infectious, don't always have symptoms and some can even be transmitted when using condoms.

Going for regular STD screening gives you confidence about your sexual health and means that any STDs can be treated fast.

For detailed information about different STDs, including pictures and statistics, see our STD section.
