A list of national and international resources and hotlines to help connect you to needed health and medical services.
Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, ooze, they may scab, and will then heal. Sores may be confused with acne, fungal infections, and ingrown hairs.
Genital herpes can spread through direct, unclothed, skin-to-skin contact, including oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Discharge may not be normal, and could mean an infection or an STD, especially with burning, pain, itching or urinary frequency.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores, but allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, fungal infections and many other conditions may, too.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, consistency and amount. If there is a change in the discharge, an infection may be present.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex. Condoms greatly reduce the chances of transmission, but do not eliminate them.
The CDC recommends that everyone test at least once, and you should test more often if you have multiple sex partners or use needles for drug use.
The first signs of HIV, called Acute Retroviral Syndrome (ARS), may feel like the flu, with body aches and a fever. It can last a up to a few weeks.
