The risk of having an STD is higher if you are a male under 25 years old who has a new sexual partner, has had many partners over the past year, or has not been a consistent condom user.
Men who have had a previous STD, men who have sex with men and men who have had intercourse abroad are also at high risk. Symptoms can include pain in passing urine or discomfort in the testicles.
