What Are STDs and How Are They Transmitted?

STD testing is typically fast and painless. Many STDs don't show obvious symptoms, so getting tested is the safest choice for your health. Early detection helps prevent complications, stop the spread to others, and ensure timely treatment if needed.

Effective Barrier Methods

External Condom

A thin layer of latex, plastic, synthetic rubber, or natural membrane worn over the penis during sex.

Internal Condom

A thin pouch made with nitrile that does not contain latex. It is used in the vagina or anus during sex. HIV can’t travel through this barrier.

Dental Dam

Dental Dam

A thin, flexible piece of latex you can use for protection during oral sex. It is placed over the vulva or anus to reduce risk of spread.
