Female: Women need to be tested for certain common STDs on an annual basis, but which ones?
Female: If you are a sexually active female it is vital that you get the most common STD test. A Pap smear annually, a Pap smear test for precancerous changes in the cervix that is stem from the common STD, HPV, or the human papillomavirus. Women, who have sex with multiple partners or have symptoms of an STD, should also ask for annual testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
If you test positive for either of this it is also important to be screened for Syphilis, Hepatitis, and HIV. That is because having one sexually transmitted disease makes you more susceptible to contracting another.
And of course, women should always see a doctor for testing should signs of an STD occur. These include unusual discharge and strange growths or ulcerations.
Not having sexual unfailingly protects you from STDs but that is probably not a choice you will make. So, always be safe.
