Anyone who has had unprotected sex (including a condom slip or break) is at risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). STI testing is recommended for all people having abortions because: STIs often have few or no symptoms, so testing might be the only way to find out if you are infected; many STIs are easily treated, but if left untreated may become painful or cause long-term health problems; and some STIs increase the risk of getting an infection after an abortion.
