Your ultimate guide to STD testing in NYC.
New York City has a large and varied population, making STDs (sexually transmitted illnesses) or STIs (sexually transmitted infections) an important issue. To ensure early diagnosis, prevention, and peace of mind, it is essential to take responsibility for one’s sexual health by undergoing testing on a regular basis.
Why Is STD Testing Important?
If untreated, STDs and STIs may cause long-term health problems, including infertility. Regular testing is necessary to guarantee early discovery and appropriate treatment, particularly for sexually active people.
