Many STIs have no symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms, so it’s possible to have an infection and not know it. If you receive a positive STI diagnosis, know that all are treatable, and some are curable. When STIs are left untreated, they may cause severe and irreversible damage, from infertility to cancer.
