The World Health Organization defines sexual health as a condition of physical, mental, and social well-being that is tied to sexuality.

Many factors, including sex education, cultural environment, diseases, family, and the social context in which a person grows up, can affect a person's sexual experiences.

According to Statista, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and, in particular, human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) has a significant impact on public health in Nigeria (HIV).

Nigeria doesn't have one of the highest rates of HIV infection overall, but the country has a relatively large population, making it home to a significant number of HIV-positive individuals.

Because of this, it is essential to regularly get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in order to maintain good health and avoid infecting others. If you are sexually active, getting tested for STDs regularly is one of the most crucial things you can do to safeguard your health.

Who should get tested for STDs?

• Sexually active adults with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners or a sex partner who has an STD should also be tested for gonorrhoea and chlamydia every year.

• Pregnant women should be tested for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C starting early in pregnancy. Those at risk for infection should also be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhoea starting early in pregnancy, repeat testing may be needed in some cases.

• Anyone who engages in sexual behaviours that could place them at risk for infection or shares injection drug equipment such as needles and syringes should get tested for HIV at least once a year.

• People who have had oral or anal sex.

It's crucial for both your sexual health and the health of people around you to get tested for STDs. There are several tests and most are easily accessible, so it's crucial to pick the one that's best for you. When choosing an STD test, take into account your individual requirements, degree of comfort, and any potential worries. You can obtain the assurance you require to maintain your health and prevent the spread of infection with the appropriate test.

Ask your doctor if you should get checked for STDs, and be sure to have an honest discussion with them about your sexual history and STD testing.
