It is very important to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) during your sexually active years, especially if you have multiple partners, because many people have a STD and don't even know it. Therefore, it is best to be tested at regular intervals even if you do not display symptoms, as some STDs are cyclical in nature. It is very important to seek out the proper medical treatment. Many STD clinics can offer treatment or at least provide advice on where to go for it.
