Good to Know

Symptom-checker FAQ

What people ask before using an STD symptom checker.

Is this STD symptom checker really anonymous?

Yes. We never ask for your name, email, or anything that identifies you. Your answers run in your browser to produce your result; only the anonymous answer choices may be counted to improve the tool.

Can a symptom checker diagnose an STD?

No. Nothing online can diagnose an STD — many infections cause no symptoms, and different STDs share the same symptoms. This tool tells you which conditions are worth testing for; only a lab test can confirm or rule one out.

I have no symptoms — should I still test?

Often, yes. Most chlamydia and gonorrhea infections, and many cases of HIV, herpes, and HPV, have no symptoms. If you've had a new partner or condomless sex, testing is the only way to know your status.

I think I was exposed to HIV in the last few days — what do I do?

Don't wait. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) can prevent HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure, and sooner is better. Go to an urgent care, ER, or sexual-health clinic now and ask for PEP.

Trust & transparency

How this assessment works

  • Grounded in public-health guidance

    The questions — and how heavily each answer counts — follow the risk factors and symptoms the CDC and WHO describe for these conditions.

  • A risk guide, not a diagnosis

    Your answers produce a risk level — how concerned to be — and flag anything that needs urgent care. Only a lab test can confirm or rule out an infection.

  • Private by design

    It runs in your browser. We never ask for your name, email, or anything that identifies you.
