Sign and symptoms: If you see genital discharge or genital ulceration or have some other symptoms suggesting urogenital disease and you are sexually active and have unprotected sex with someone who recently was diagnosed with an std, then you probably have an std; however definite diagnosis is made by being examined by a doctor and have test ordered.
