STDs Quiz: How Strong Is Your Sexual Health Knowledge?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or infections (STIs), are far more prevalent than most of us realize. From chlamydia and gonorrhea to HIV and syphilis, these diseases can be transmitted by having unprotected sex—and even without displaying any signs whatsoever. The good news is that most STDs can be prevented, cured, and treated. The magic word is awareness: being aware of the symptoms, using protection, and being tested frequently. This quiz will test your knowledge and cut through the myths that surround sexual health.
