Why STD Testing Day Exists

01

Breaking the Silence

Silence and stigma around STDs hurt people far more than the infections themselves.

02

Conquer the Fear

Too many are afraid to get tested, talk to a partner, or be judged.

Why PositiveSingles Created STD Testing Day

PositiveSingles was built for people living with STDs—and for those who want to connect honestly and safely. We believe an STD does not define a person.

Together, we created STD Testing Day to encourage open conversations about sexual health and reduce stigma.

Early Detection Matters

Early Detection Matters

Many STDs are treatable, and early detection can prevent serious health complications in the long run.

Who Should Get Tested?

Many STDs don't show up immediately, so it's a good idea to get tested regularly. Consider getting tested if you:

If you experience any new sores, rashes, discharge, itching, or discomfort, it's important to get tested promptly.
Regular testing is recommended if you've had unprotected sex or have multiple sexual partners.
Testing is crucial during pregnancy to protect both mother and baby from potential complications.
Comprehensive screening tests for multiple STIs and provides peace of mind about your sexual health.
Getting tested before starting a new relationship helps ensure both partners' health and safety.
