What Happens If You Don’t Treat an STI?

1

1 in 5 people in the U.S. have an STI—and many don’t even know it. Let’s change that.

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are more common than you might think—and many of them don’t show obvious symptoms right away. That’s why testing and early treatment are key to protecting your health.

Untreated STIs Can Lead to Serious Health Problems

If left untreated, even common STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea can cause long-term complications such as:

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women
  • Infertility in all genders
  • Chronic pain in the reproductive organs
  • Increased risk of HIV transmission

And because many STIs start without symptoms, people often don’t realize they’re infected until the damage is already done.

Testing = Prevention

According to the CDC, getting tested regularly helps you take control of your health. When caught early, most STIs are easily treatable with medication. Testing also helps protect your partner(s) and stop the spread in your community. This is a global issue, and real change begins at home—especially when more than 1 million curable STIs are acquired every day, according to the WHO.
