A member asked:

Help docs! how to tell if my boyfriend has a std?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get him tested: There is no way to "look at" a person and know they carry a STD. Many can produce no symptoms in a male and be passed years after they picked it up. If you have concerns, the best way to know is have a thorough set of tests done.
