What are some common signs and symptoms of STDs?
Most people with STD infections do not have any obvious signs or
symptoms and are likely unaware of their infection. The most
common sign or symptom of STD infection is to have NO signs or
symptoms.
However, if symptoms are present, they may include:
- discharge (genitals/anus) – itching/burning
- blisters – abdominal pain
- abnormal bleeding – painful intercourse
- open sores (pain/no pain) – burning w/ urination
- warts (on genitals/anus)
- rash (body, palms, soles)
If a client describes any of the above symptoms, do not try to tell
them which STD they might have, instead, refer them to a doctor or
clinic for the appropriate tests.
