While some individuals with STDs experience severe symptoms, others experience little to no discomfort and may not know that they are a carrier. Left untreated, STDs can lead to many health complications, such as certain types of cancer, infertility, and in extreme cases, death. Residents of Los Angeles who are sexually active should have regular STD screenings, even if they believe that they are unlikely to contract an STD.
