The absence of STI symptoms is not a reliable way to tell if you or your partner is infection free, since it’s possible to have contracted an STI and not be symptomatic. If you suspect you may have contracted an STI, or if you want to get tested preemptively, here are some testing sites. You may also want to speak with your partner about testing.
Note: Find STI testing anywhere in the U.S. with the CDC’s GetTested tool.
