If you have sex — oral, anal or vaginal intercourse and genital touching — you can get an STD, also called a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Regardless of your marital status or sexual orientation, you're vulnerable to STIs and STI symptoms.

The signs and symptoms of STIs can vary widely, but common ones include genital sores, pain during urination, unusual discharge, itching, and discomfort. However, some STIs may not show any symptoms. It's important to get regular checkups and practice safe sex to prevent and detect STIs early.

If you're concerned, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
