A member asked:

Doctors can you tell me how often should you get screened for stds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As often as the risk: Stds come about from unprotected sex with partners whose history is unknown. If this is your history then you should be screened soon after. If your sexual activity is safe, then screening is unnecessary.
