Understanding Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
Sexually transmitted diseases, also called sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact. STDs are extremely common—millions of new infections occur each year in the United States. Many STDs have no symptoms, which is why regular testing is so important for sexually active individuals.
Why STD Testing Matters
Many STDs Have No Symptoms
You can have an STD and not know it. Many people with chlamydia, gonorrhea, or early HIV have no symptoms at all, yet can still transmit infections to partners and develop serious complications if untreated.
Early Detection Prevents Complications
Untreated STDs can lead to serious health problems including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility in women, increased risk of HIV transmission, pregnancy complications, chronic pain, certain cancers, and transmission to sexual partners.
Treatment is Effective
Most STDs are curable with antibiotics, and those that aren't curable (like HIV and herpes) can be effectively managed with medication to protect your health and reduce transmission risk.
Protecting Your Partners
Knowing your STD status allows you to protect current and future sexual partners and make informed decisions about your sexual health.
Common STDs We Test and Treat
Chlamydia
The most common bacterial STD in the United States. Often has no symptoms but can cause serious reproductive complications if untreated. Easily cured with antibiotics.
Gonorrhea
A common bacterial infection that can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat. May cause discharge, pain, or burning, but often has no symptoms. Curable with antibiotics, though antibiotic-resistant strains are emerging.
Syphilis
A bacterial infection that progresses through stages if untreated. Early syphilis causes painless sores, while late-stage syphilis can damage the brain, heart, and other organs. Curable with antibiotics, especially when caught early.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
A virus that attacks the immune system. While HIV is not curable, modern antiretroviral medications allow people with HIV to live long, healthy lives and reduce transmission risk to nearly zero.
Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2)
Viral infections causing painful blisters or sores on the mouth (HSV-1) or genitals (HSV-2). While not curable, antiviral medications reduce outbreaks and transmission risk.
Hepatitis B and C
Viral infections affecting the liver. Hepatitis B can be prevented with vaccination. Both can lead to chronic liver disease if untreated, but treatments are available.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
The most common STD. Most HPV infections clear on their own, but some high-risk types can cause genital warts or cervical cancer. HPV vaccination prevents many high-risk types.
Trichomoniasis
A common parasitic infection often causing discharge and irritation. Easily cured with medication.

Who Should Get Tested?
Annual Testing Recommended For:
All sexually active individuals under age 25, anyone with new or multiple sexual partners, men who have sex with men, anyone sharing injection drug equipment, people with a partner who has an STD, and anyone with STD symptoms.
Test After:
Unprotected sexual contact, condom breakage or failure, sexual assault, new sexual partner, and any potential STD exposure.
Pregnancy Planning or Pregnancy
STD testing is important during pregnancy planning and early pregnancy to protect both mother and baby.
Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, testing ensures both partners' health and provides peace of mind.
STD Symptoms to Watch For
While many STDs have no symptoms, watch for:
Unusual discharge from penis or vagina
Burning or pain during urination
Sores, bumps, or blisters on or around genitals, anus, or mouth
Painful or swollen testicles
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting
Itching or irritation in genital area
Painful sexual intercourse
Rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule STD testing promptly. However, remember that absence of symptoms doesn't mean absence of infection.
Treatment Services
Immediate Treatment
If your test results are positive, we provide immediate treatment in most cases. Many bacterial STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics administered in our office.
Partner Notification Assistance
We can provide guidance on partner notification and expedited partner therapy when appropriate, helping prevent reinfection and stop transmission.
Follow-Up Testing
We schedule appropriate follow-up testing to ensure treatment success and confirm infection clearance.
Ongoing Management
For viral STDs like HIV and herpes that require long-term management, we provide ongoing care, medication management, and monitoring.
Prevention Counseling
We discuss strategies to reduce future STD risk including condom use, limiting partners, vaccination for HPV and hepatitis B, and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention when appropriate.
