How often should I get tested for an STI?

Updated over a year ago

How often you should get tested for STIs depends on your level of risk and sexual activity.

We would recommend getting tested after any potential exposure (e.g. after any episode of unprotected sex).

If you’re sexually active, it’s a good habit to get tested for STIs once every year, even if you feel fine.

If you or your partner(s) have multiple partners, and especially if you’re having unprotected sex, its recommended to get tested every 3 months.
