April is STI Awareness Month, and this is exactly why education matters.
Not every symptom is what you think it is.
Many people assume irritation or discharge is BV, but infections like trichomoniasis can present very similarly and require completely different treatment.
Treating the wrong condition can delay care, prolong symptoms, and increase risk of transmission.
This is why proper testing matters, not guessing.
If something feels off, get evaluated so you can get the right treatment the first time.
If you want more sexual health education resources, comment “student”.
