5 Reasons to Get STD Tested This Valentine’s Day

Posted By Pinpoint MD on Thursday, February 2, 2012 1:54:59 PM America/Chicago

  1. Protect Your Special Someone

  3. Protect Yourself
  4. Your special someone is important, but no one is more important than You! Get yourself tested and understand your total health. Doctors don’t test for STDs at your yearly exam; it’s up to you to make sure your overall health is in check.

  5. Not All STDs Show Symptoms

  7. Many STDs are Treatable
  8. A good number of STDs are treatable, but you cannot begin to treat a disease if you do not know it exists. Getting tested allows you to start the proper road to recovery.

  9. Why not?
  10. You’ve got nothing to lose. If you test positive, thank goodness you know! Now you can be responsible and get yourself treated before you unknowingly spread the disease to others. If you test negative, even better!
