IUD and stds

will a doctor test you for stds before placing an iud ???

Dear Nicole,

Not sure where you live, but it’s considered best practice in the UK. If you are <25, you can also get a free sexual health screen by applying online; just Google “NHS STD tests” for more information and a test kit will be sent to you through the post.

Adhari.

I’m in the united states will it be same practice

Sorry, you’ll have to wait for someone else to come along to answer this!

I guess if you’re willing to pay the answer is probably ‘Yes’.

Hi Nicole, most likely you’ll get a Pap smear (if you are due) and a STD panel. Hope this helps :slight_smile:
