Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. The causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites, and viruses.
WHEN TO CARRY OUT AN ETS BASIC NETWORK STUDY?
An apparently healthy person may have a sexually transmitted disease without knowing it, since sometimes there are no signs or symptoms of the condition.
When you have a sexually transmitted disease, the risk of suffering from others increases, therefore, pay attention to when to carry out a Red ETS Basic study and leave doubts:
- You are sexually active and have had more than one sexual partner (or if your partner has had multiple partners since your last analysis).
- You use intravenous medications.
- You are pregnant or plan to be.
- You have been forced to have a sexual act or engage in sexual activity against your will.
WHAT KIND OF ANALYSIS SHOULD YOU DO AND HOW OFTEN?
