What Are STDs?

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), also known as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), are infections that can be transmitted through sexual contact. These infections can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. It’s crucial to understand the risks, prevention methods, and available testing and treatment options.

Common STDs

There are various types of STDs, including:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
  • Syphilis
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Herpes (HSV)
  • HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Hepatitis B and C

The Importance of Testing

Regular STD testing is essential for your sexual health and the well-being of your partners. Testing allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and further transmission. Our Telehealth services offer convenient and confidential STD testing options.

Prevention Strategies

Preventing STDs involves taking proactive measures to protect yourself and your partners:

  • Safe Sex: Use condoms consistently and correctly during sexual activity.
  • Regular Testing: Get tested regularly, especially if you have multiple partners or engage in high-risk behaviors.
  • Vaccinations: Vaccines are available for certain STDs, such as HPV and Hepatitis B.
  • Open Communication: Discuss sexual health and boundaries with your partners.

STD Treatment and Management

Many STDs are treatable, and early treatment is essential for effective management. Our healthcare providers can offer guidance, prescribe medications, and provide support if you test positive for an STD. Remember that some STDs are chronic and require ongoing care.
