Understanding STI Testing
Regular STI testing is an important part of maintaining sexual health. Most common STIs can be easily treated if detected early. Testing is recommended:

- After unprotected sexual contact
- If experiencing unusual symptoms
- As part of regular health check-ups
All tests are conducted confidentially by certified laboratories, with results typically available within 1-3 days.
