Left untreated, STDs can lead to serious long-term health problems, which is why it’s important to get tested even if you don’t have symptoms.

STD Facts and Fast Stats

About 1 in 2 sexually active people will contract an STD by age 25
Adolescents, young adults, and men who have sex with men are most at risk
Over 20 million new cases of STDs occur in the U.S. annually
Testing, vaccination, and education are the best tools to prevent spread

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial STD in the U.S. It spreads through vaginal, oral, or anal sex and may be passed from mother to child during birth. Many people with chlamydia experience no symptoms, but those who do may notice burning during urination or unusual discharge. Left untreated, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility in women.

Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea affects the genitals, throat, and rectum. It’s most common among individuals aged 15–24. Most people with gonorrhea don’t show symptoms, but when they do, it often includes pain during urination, unusual discharge, or testicular pain. If left untreated, gonorrhea can cause serious complications, including infertility and joint infections.

Trichomoniasis

Caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, trichomoniasis often produces no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include yellow-green vaginal discharge or pain during intercourse. Only about one-third of people infected experience noticeable signs. This STD is treatable with medication once diagnosed.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the HBV virus. It can be transmitted through sexual contact or shared needles. Symptoms may take up to 4 months to appear and include dark urine, pale stools, nausea, fatigue, and stomach pain. Most people recover with time, but prompt care and vaccination are essential to prevent chronic infection.

Syphilis

Syphilis is less common but very serious if left untreated. It is passed through direct contact with a syphilitic sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Early signs include a painless sore, often around the genitals or mouth. If not treated, syphilis can damage the heart, brain, and nervous system. Early testing is key to recovery.

HIV

HIV attacks the immune system and, without treatment, can develop into AIDS. Early symptoms often resemble the flu and appear within weeks of infection. Over time, HIV may cause chronic fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, or other signs. Many people show no symptoms for years. The only way to know your status is to get tested. Early diagnosis and antiretroviral treatment help manage the virus and reduce the risk of transmission.
