Before marriage it is important to tests for HIV and/or other STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). With several countries making pre-marital screening a part of legislation, many couples entering into wedlock now think it necessary to know about the physical well-being of their partners before they marry, particularly about their reproductive ability and diseases that could be transmitted sexually.
STDs or venereal disease (VD) or simply STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections), which need attention during pre-marital checkups, are Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Chlamydia, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and many more. They get transmitted via physical relations. Some STIs can also be transmitted by the use of IV drug needles (used by an infected person), through childbirth or breastfeeding. Consult venereologist, gynecologist etc. for detailed information.
Give it a thought now and your married life would be in swank health.
Be healthy be happy!
