How many people get an STD without having symptoms?

It is estimated that more than half of all sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are asymptomatic, meaning that people do not experience any symptoms. This can make it difficult to diagnose and treat STDs, and it can also lead to the spread of infection to others.

Some of the most common STDs that can be asymptomatic include:

* Chlamydia

* Gonorrhea

* Herpes simplex virus (HSV)

* Human papillomavirus (HPV)

* Syphilis

It is important to practice safe sex and to get regular STD testing, even if you do not have any symptoms. This can help to protect you from infection and from spreading STDs to others.
