Sex has many uncomfortable realities.
and some of those realities are contagious.

Yep – as much as we would like to ignore it, there’s no denying that having sex opens you
you up to the possibility of catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI)

Unfortunately, despite a 56.5% surge in STI cases in India between 2019 and 2021,
people still hesitate to discuss this issue openly.

And yet, we continue to shy away
from the conversation.

What are we doing?

Having an STI does not mean you are dirty, have too much sex, or are deserving of shame. STIs are so stigmatized that it’s easier to pretend that they never happen to “normal” people. It is time that we accept the basic facts about STIs —that they are common, often silent, and morally neutral. 

Manzuri has joined hands to
fight the ‘STI’gma this April.

We believe consent is sexy and getting
tested even more so.

To celebrate, we will be giving out free STI tests as well as one on one
consultations with medical experts to understand our own bodies and
provide them with the care that they need.

For this month, we are
committing to dedicate 5% of
our monthly profits to NGO

An NGO that primarily focuses on sex education in India to help
remove shame and stigma from STIs.

FAQs

STDs are infections that are spread from one person to another, usually during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. They’re really common, and lots of people who have them don’t have any symptoms. Without treatment, STDs can lead to serious health problems. But the good news is that getting tested is no big deal, and most STDs are easy to treat.

Most of the time, STDs have no symptoms. Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have an STD. So if you’ve had any kind of sexual contact that can spread STDs — like vaginal, anal, or oral sex — talk with a doctor or nurse about getting tested.

Absolutely! If you’ve had sexual contact with another person and notice any signs of an STD, you should get tested.

It’s important to get tested because some STDs can cause serious health problems if untreated. Having an STD makes you more likely to get other STDs, like HIV. And it’s best to find out right away if you have an STD, so you can avoid giving it to other people.

 

Your nurse or doctor will help you figure out what kinds of testing or treatment you may need. Tell them about:

  • Your symptoms
  • What kind of sexual contact you’ve had
  • Whether you use condoms and/or dental dams.

Have you had unprotected sexual contact? You should get tested!

You can’t tell if you have an STD just by the way you look or feel — most of the time, people with STDs don’t have any symptoms. So the only way to know for sure if you (or your partner) have an STD is to get tested. A doctor or nurse can tell you whether or not you should be tested for STDs. STDs can also spread to other people you have sex with, whether or not you have any symptoms.

You can also take our quiz to find out if you should get tested!

STD stands for sexually transmitted disease. STI stands for sexually transmitted infection. They mean the exact same thing: infections that you can get from another person during sexual contact. When an infection reaches the disease stage, it is called an STD.

These infections have had many different names over the years. STI is the newest version. Health care professionals switched from STD to STI because “infection” is more accurate than “disease.”

 

However, The term STD has been around longer than STI. Way more people use it and search for it on the Internet. So some health care professionals choose to use STD. For example, we typically use STD on Manzuri.in so more people can easily find the information they’re looking for when they search online.

Different STDs have different symptoms.  Here are some common symptoms that you can watch out for:

  • sores or bumps on and around your genitals, thighs, or butt cheeks
  • weird discharge from your vagina or penis
  • burning when you pee and/or having to pee a lot
  • itching, pain, irritation and/or swelling in your penis, vagina, vulva, or anus
  • flu-like symptoms like fever, body aches and feeling tired.

 

All of these symptoms can be caused by things that aren’t STDs (like pimples, UTIs, or yeast infections). STD symptoms can come and go over time, but that doesn’t mean the STD is gone.

So getting tested is the only way to know for sure what’s going on.

The idea of getting tested may seem scary, but try to chill out. Most common STDs can be easily cured with medicine. And STDs that can’t be cured often have treatments to help you with symptoms and to lower your chances of giving the STD to anyone else. So the sooner you know you have an STD, the faster you can start taking care of yourself and your partner(s).

 

The best part about getting tested for STDs? Once you get it over with, it can really put your mind at ease. STD testing is a regular part of being responsible and taking care of yourself. Plus, STD tests can be quick, painless, and sometimes even free.
