14 reasons!!
I believe it not limited to That number?!
The importance of regular health checks cannot be overemphasized.
Not just about STI and hiv.
Generally, you should put check on your health atleast within three months interval, this is because some illness are just inevitable.

The definition of a good health is best taken from the individual.
And also, some sexually transmitted infections are not just gotten from sexual activity.
Sometimes we get from what we eat and drink, our environment etc
So knowing ones health should be ones top priority.
Considering the current situation in the world, you all can agree with me on this?

You are very right about this information. No doubt STIs are prevalent in our society, especially the youth population. Alot of individuals have been infected with one form of STI or the other but ain't aware . This is because some people donot show signs and symptoms of a particular disease. They are called carriers of such a disease. This means they might unknowingly infect an unsuspecting partner because they physically look healthy enough. And the infected person would now manifest the various signs of the disease at different stages.. I heard STIs can also be transmitted from person to person by sharing same toilets although I don't know how true this statement is.
