The most common symptom of STIs is having no symptoms at all. Anybody who has sex can get STIs, and some can be spread even if there’s only skin-on-skin action between genitals without passing fluids. Testing is the only way to know for sure if someone has an STI.

You can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer by having healthy habits. Breast cancer screenings don’t prevent the disease, but can catch it early, when it’s easier to treat.

We provide chest/breast cancer screenings & referrals. Visit: ppmarmonte.org/book
