Will I know if I have an STI?

Many STIs exhibit few or no symptoms, particularly in the initial stages after exposure. Therefore, it is possible to leave an STI undetected for a long time, without testing.

If present, signs of infection can include pain when urinating, unusual discharge, genital or anal discomfort (such as itching or redness), abnormal bleeding, and blemishes including cuts, sores, ulcers or other breaks in the continuation of skin.

Paying regular attention to your sexual health can help to prevent an untreated STI from developing into a more serious health problem. It also reduces the risk of passing an STI to any current or future sexual partners.

As a result, you may be asked to provide a form of personal identification at your private appointment in Abu Dhabi.
