In many cases, there are no signs or symptoms of STDs and hence the chance of unknowingly passing them on to your partner are much higher. It is also interesting to note that many experts prefer the term sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as these are infectious in nature and can pass on fairly easily. However, the good news is that after a simple STD test, you can be easily treated for any STDs found in your body. The CDC recommends getting tested every 6 months to a year if you are sexually active, and even sooner if you have multiple sexual partners or have had unprotected sex.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We ensure that your entire experience with us is comfortable, private and confidential, fast, and efficient.

When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can all cause hepatitis. However, hepatitis is often caused by a virus. In the United States, the most common hepatitis viruses are hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus.<\/p>\n<p>Hepatitis A,\u00a0Hepatitis B, and\u00a0Hepatitis C\u00a0are liver infections caused by three different viruses. Although each can cause similar symptoms, they are spread in different ways and can affect the liver differently. Hepatitis A is usually a short-term infection. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C can also begin as short-term infections but in some people, the virus remains in the body and causes chronic, or lifelong, infection.
