thumbnail_image1

STD Awareness Week is observed the second full week in April. The goal is to raise awareness about STDs, reduce stigma, promote prevention measures and encourage testing. While some people experience symptoms, there are carriers of STDs who are asymptomatic. That not only means they can infect others unknowingly but left untreated, it can have a lasting impact on their own health.

Including infertility.

Dr. Nia Thompson Jenkins, OB-GYN/Urogynecologist shares the importance of STD testing, how untreated infections can impact fertility down the road and more.
