1. Protect Your Special Someone

If you don’t know your STD status, you could be putting your special someone at risk. Get tested before getting romantic on the big day so you can both rest-assured.

2. Protect Yourself

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.

3. Not All STDs Show Symptoms

Think you’re in the clear because you’re not itching like hell down there? It is 100% possible to be contagious without any symptoms of an STD. Some STDs can remain asymptomatic for years.

4. Many STDs are Treatable

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.

5. Why not?

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!

Keep you and your love one safe this Valentine’s Day by getting STD tested. We’re even throwing in a discount – use code love and save 10%. Happy testing!

Most STD testing campaigns are designed to target sexually active people in their teens, 20s, and 30s. After all, younger people have historically been associated with higher infection rates and less responsible sexual habits. But sexually active members of the over-50 crowd shouldn’t let themselves off the hook when it comes to STD testing. According to recently published data, STD infection rates have been on the rise among those over 50, and part of the reason has to do with the stigma surrounding STD testing in older folks.

For the first time this past decade, national syphilis infection rates declined in 2010, dropping 1.6 percent overall as compared to the previous year. While this news is somewhat encouraging, it doesn’t negate the need for STD testing on a whole. In fact, the drop in syphilis was mostly attributed to women, whose infection rates fell by 20 percent last year. Men, on the other hand, showed an upsurge in syphilis cases, with an increased rate of 1.3 percent. What this means is that those at risk for syphilis should continue to make STD testing a priority.

I have an image of what violence and abuse is; kicking, punching, slapping, and shoving. It hurts the body, sometimes badly. In its worst form, intimate partner violence (as it’s sometimes called) leads to death.
