Sexually Transmitted Diseases continue to be one of the largest health concerns in the United States. The Center for Disease Control estimates that there are nearly 20 million new STD cases in the U.S. every year. STD’s account for $ 16 billion in annual health care costs. More significant is the amount of STD infections that go unreported. Many types of STD’s can go long periods without showing any symptoms. When they do display symptoms, they are difficult to diagnose because they are often common to other illnesses. An unrecognized STD infection is a health risk not only for the person infected, but other people they may spread the disease to. While high risk behaviors like unprotected sex, sex with multiple partners, and intravenous drug use increase a person’s likelihood of contracting an STD, anyone who is sexually active can be at risk. Fortunately, most STD’s are treatable and early treatment can help people avoid long term health complications. Lab testing is a valuable tool that people can use in conjunction with their medical provider to check if their health may be at risk from a number of STD’s. Early detection can help a person and their doctor determine what their best course of action is. Awareness is the key to both successfully treating and preventing the spread of STD’s.
