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.
