It's National STD Awareness Month And Your STD Help Needs You To Get Tested

Online, April 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 25% of women aged 14-19 are infected with an STD and many don't know it.

YourSTDHelp.com is a resource for people to learn more about STD's and to find ways to get tested. And for National STD Awareness Month this April in many places it's free.

"We're not here to scare people or show the nasty slides like in health class, but to show that these are real risks with real consequences" said Joel Richardson head of YourSTDHelp.com. Risks may include lifelong diseases, infertility, and in some cases chronic illness. "How well do you know a potential partner, and how well do you know yourself? You owe it to your peace of mind and future health to get tested today."

Common STD symptoms, generally, are: dark or smelly urine, secretion or discharges from genitals, strange rashes or spots, burning while urinating, bumps, blisters, and warts near the genitals. But, not always. In many cases there are no symptoms at all or are mistaken for another more mild medical issue.

That's why this year for STD Awareness Month YourSTDHelp.com has put together an exhaustive list of free and low cost medical facilities around the US for testing and information on what this is all about.
