STD Testing and Treatment Tampa FL

A sexually transmitted disease (STD) is a bacterial or viral infection that is transmitted during sexual activity through contact with semen, vaginal fluid, blood, or skin. The most common symptom of an STD is no symptom. Therefore, if you are sexually active, the best way to protect your health is to be tested for STDs regularly and to use a condom whenever you engage in any form of sexual activity, including vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse.
