Nigerian Doctor Urges STI Testing and Open Conversations Before Intimacy
A Nigerian doctor has advised sexually active adults, whether married or single, to take sexual health seriously and avoid relying only on visible signs of infection. She noted that some sexually transmitted infections may present with symptoms such as sores, rashes, unusual discharge or odour, while others may show no symptoms at all. She encouraged partners to consider proper medical screening and communicate openly before intimacy. Health professionals advise anyone with possible symptoms or concerns to visit a qualified clinic for testing, diagnosis and treatment rather than self-diagnosing.
