Is STI Test useful for longevity?

STI (sexually transmitted infection) tests are valuable for general health but are not specifically designed as longevity tests. Untreated STIs can lead to long-term complications such as infertility, chronic inflammation, or increased cancer risk, which may shorten lifespan. However, no direct studies link STI testing to extended longevity. The benefit lies in prevention and early detection. In the context of longevity, STI tests are part of routine health maintenance, not a core longevity intervention. Evidence is practice-based (prevention) and not supported by longevity-specific research. Caveat: No direct association with longevity biomarkers or interventions.
