Yes, this, with the addendum that there are things that can lie low in the blood for years and not manifest symptoms, so people can be carriers and not know it, so it's crucial to actually get tested (particularly for HPV, yes, there is now a test for men) because you can stay asymptomatic and still be a carrier and it causes, among other things, cancer.
