Regular STD testing matters because many sexually transmitted infections are asymptomatic and can cause long-term health issues if untreated. The CDC recommends routine STI screening for sexually active people, especially those with new or multiple partners, pregnant people, and men who have sex with men. Locally, Berks County sees patterns similar to statewide trends: chlamydia and gonorrhea remain common, and early HIV detection is critical for better outcomes. Testing at least once a year, or more often based on risk, helps protect you and your partners. Early detection leads to effective treatment, reduces the chance of complications such as infertility or liver disease, and prevents onward transmission. Normalizing testing reduces stigma — treating sexual health as part of routine care supports overall well-being.
