Dear Angel8689,

Yes. While some people experience symptoms of an infection, like discharge, burning, or itching in the genital area, other people can have a sexually transmitted infection and have no symptoms at all. That's why it's so important for sexually active people to get tested! For testing, call 1-800-230-PLAN for the nearest Planned Parenthood health center.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
