People may not seek treatment for an STD for a variety of reasons. One primary force that drives people away from testing and treatment is stigma surrounding these diseases. Our society is taught that having an STD is taboo. Many times this stigma is a result of social norms surrounding the idea of sex and relationships.

People might also be concerned about being judged by the medical provider they seek care from.
