What are some symptoms of STIs?
STIs can cause symptoms like bumps, sores, or rashes on the skin, pain or burning during peeing or having sex, itchy discharge from the penis or vagina, fever, bleeding between periods, or symptoms like the flu. Some of these symptoms may be related to other illnesses that are not sexually transmitted. If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to get tested right away. Some clinics and hospitals offer free or low-cost STI testing. It is important to know your body and your vagina. If you know your own odors and the way things normally look, you are more likely to notice any unusual changes.
