When to See a Doctor
While our symptom checker is a helpful starting point, only laboratory testing can confirm a diagnosis. Seek medical attention if you have any concerning symptoms or have had a high-risk exposure.
Symptoms Present
Any unusual discharge, sores, pain, or skin changes in the genital area should be evaluated by a doctor promptly.
High-Risk Exposure
If you had unprotected sex with a new or high-risk partner, get tested even without symptoms. Many STIs are asymptomatic.
Partner Diagnosis
If your partner was diagnosed with an STI, you need testing and potentially treatment too — even if you feel fine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this symptom checker confidential?
Yes, completely. The symptom checker runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy is 100% protected.
How accurate is this symptom checker?
The checker uses medical guidelines and common symptom-disease mappings, but it is NOT a substitute for professional diagnosis. Many STIs share similar symptoms, and lab testing is the only way to confirm. Always consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis.
What symptoms should I look for with STDs?
Common STD symptoms include unusual discharge, pain or burning during urination, genital sores or bumps, itching, rashes, and flu-like symptoms. However, many STIs can be asymptomatic — meaning you could have an infection without noticing any symptoms at all.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
Incubation periods vary by infection: Gonorrhea/Chlamydia (2-14 days), Syphilis (3-90 days), Herpes (2-12 days), HIV (2-6 weeks for seroconversion), HPV (weeks to months), Hepatitis B (6-24 weeks). Some infections can remain dormant for years.
Can I have an STD without symptoms?
Absolutely. Many STIs — including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, herpes, and HIV — can be asymptomatic. This is why regular testing is recommended for sexually active individuals, even without symptoms.
What should I do if I have STD symptoms?
The best course of action is to get tested at a reputable clinic. Avoid self-diagnosis and over-the-counter treatments. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes and prevents transmission to partners.
Do I need a partner to use the couples sexology section?
No, the couples section is informational and can be useful even if you're single — understanding relationship dynamics helps you prepare for future relationships. If you're in a relationship, the information can help identify areas to discuss with your partner or a therapist.
