While some STDs present signs and symptoms, others may not have any active symptoms at all. This is why it’s important to get regularly tested for STDs if you’re sexually active.   The most common symptoms of an STD include:   ● Burning sensation when peeing. ● Fever. ● Itching, especially around your genitals. ● Lower abdominal pain. ● Odorous vaginal discharge. ● Pain during sex. ● Painful urination. ● Penile discharge. ● Rash. ● Sore and/or swollen lymph nodes. ● Sores on your genitals, mouth, or rectal area. ● Unusual vaginal discharge. ● Vaginal bleeding that doesn’t coincide with your period.   Signs and symptoms of an STD may take a few days, weeks, or months to appear. In some cases, it may even take years for any type of symptoms to present themselves. Get tested as soon as you notice any abnormal symptoms as these may be indicative of an latent or active STD.
