When to get STI tests

We recommend that everyone get tested for sexually transmitted infections:

• whenever you have a new partner (we encourage all partners to come in for testing)
• with your regular check up
• if ever you have symptoms such as sores, abnormal discharge, mid-cycle bleeding or discomfort. Remember that many infections do not produce symptoms.
