Many STDs don’t have symptoms, which is why it’s so important to get tested regularly.

But some STDs can cause symptoms like burning during urination, unusual discharge, or sores on the genitals.

STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are passed from person to person during sexual contact.
