The institution says some groups of women and men who have sex with men (MSM) should get regular checkups. Find out if you should still get an STD test \u2014 even if you\u2019re a heterosexual man.<\/p>\n<h3>STD Testing For Men Who Sleep With Women: What CDC Says<\/h3>\n<p>CDC issued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/treatment-guidelines\/STI-Guidelines-2021.pdf\">updated recommendations<\/a> for the screening and testing of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in 2021. The document focuses on STD detection among special populations, such as pregnant persons, women under the age of 25, and MSM.<\/p>\n<p>CDC recommends STD testing for heterosexual men only in a few situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Everyone between the age of 13 to 64 should get tested for HIV at least once.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">All persons who engage in risky behaviors should get tested for HIV once a year.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">People who practice oral or anal sex should talk to their physician about throat and rectal testing options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The CDC doesn\u2019t recommend routine screening for other STDs, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Behind CDC Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p>If the health authority doesn\u2019t explicitly say that MSW should get regular check-ups, can you just chill? It depends! The recommendations are exactly that \u2013 suggestions for best practices based on current research.<\/p>\n<p>But to understand the official position, we need to take into account other factors, for example, distribution of public health funding. STD testing for men who sleep with men is a focus of recommendations because this group has higher rates of STDs.<\/p>\n<p>Similar reasoning applies to young women. For them, a sexual illness <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sexual-conditions\/news\/20210825\/why-the-cdc-doesnt-recommend-screening-straight-men-stds\">comes with a greater risk<\/a> of serious health complications.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC prioritizes STD testing for gay men over testing for MSW because the second group is regarded as low risk, and that\u2019s the justification behind current recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean you or your doctor should disregard your concerns about sexual health. If you\u2019ve had risky situations in bed, talk to your doctor. CDC recommendations tell clinicians to \u201calways consider the clinical circumstances of each person in the context of local disease prevalence.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31993\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpeg-2_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31993 size-full\" title=\"Two men holding hands\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpeg-2_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Two men holding hands\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpeg-2_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpeg-2_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The CDC recommends that men who sleep with men get regular STD checkups<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>STDs Are Still Dangerous<\/h2>\n<p>Sexually transmitted diseases (sometimes called sexually transmitted infections \u2014 STIs) are still a big problem. They contribute to many health concerns, including infertility.<\/p>\n<p>STIs are also a big public health burden. In the U.S. alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/statistics\/prevalence-2020-at-a-glance.htm\">1 in 5 people<\/a> has an STI. In 2018 alone, new cases of sexually transmitted infections generated $16 billion in direct lifetime medical costs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never fun to catch an STD, but even here, there is an element of luck involved. Some STDs are more serious than others. Getting regular testing is important because the sooner you find out, the greater your chance to heal.<\/p>\n<p>However, other STDs are more serious. There\u2019s still no cure for HSV (herpes) or HIV, for example, though people who test positive can live a long life with medical monitoring and appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>Health Impact of STDs Can Be Worse for Women<\/h3>\n<p>There is no gender equality with STDs. Compared with men, women carry a bigger burden. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/chlamydia\/symptoms\/\">chlamydia<\/a>, for example. Most men don\u2019t develop long-term complications from this infection. For women, on the other hand, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and permanent damage to the reproductive system.<\/p>\n<p>Women are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/health-disparities\/stds-women-042011.pdf\">more prone to catch an STD<\/a>. That\u2019s because the lining of the vagina is thinner than that of the penis, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and viruses.<\/p>\n<h3>Should You Get Tested If You\u2019re A Heterosexual Man?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a sexually active guy, no matter who you sleep with, getting tested is a sign that you care for your partner or partners. Even if you\u2019re super careful and always practice safer sex, there\u2019s always a risk.<\/p>\n<p>Condoms are very effective against disease, but they don\u2019t promise 100 percent protection. Moreover, many heterosexual couples practice oral sex without latex barriers, which poses extra risk of STIs.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it this way: You may go for a long time without even knowing you have an STD. In that period, you may unwittingly infect your partner with an illness that could have serious consequences for her. Don\u2019t be that guy!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never had an STD checkup, now is the time to think about it. You may ask your doctor for basic tests at your next annual health checkup. If you\u2019re monogamous, it\u2019s good practice for both partners to get tested before starting a new relationship.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re currently single or not looking for a long-term relationship, always use condoms and latex barriers and check your sexual health regularly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31994\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3.jpeg-1_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31994 size-full\" title=\"Man and woman in bed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3.jpeg-1_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Man and woman in bed\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3.jpeg-1_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3.jpeg-1_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Regular STD testing is a sign you care for your partner<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Tell Your Partner If You Test Positive<\/h3>\n<p>And what if the results come out positive? Honesty is your best policy here. Telling your partner helps her get treatment as soon as possible to minimize health risks, including risk of infertility.<\/p>\n<p>Informing your lover about a positive HIV test result can save them from getting infected. Nowadays, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiv.gov\/hiv-basics\/hiv-prevention\/using-hiv-medication-to-reduce-risk\/post-exposure-prophylaxis\">post-exposure prophylaxis<\/a> (PEP) is available.
