Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Testing and Treatment
Sexually transmitted diseases are infections that can be mouth, rectum, or bodily fluids. There are more than 20 different STDs. They include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, trichomonas, and syphilis.
Some STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can be easily cured with antibiotics. While some others, such as herpes and HIV, have no cure. Herpes can be treated to relieve symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment offer the best chance for curing the disease, preventing consequences such as infertility and preventing spread to others. If you have been diagnosed with an STD, it is important to tell your partner so they also can get tested and treated.
