You can also go to a free health clinic. Don't let fear keep you from getting checked out. If you find out you have an STD, both you and your partner should get treated right away. STDs like chlamydia that are caused by bacteria can be cured with antibiotics. Your doctor can only treat the symptoms that the virus causes.
Early treatment helps prevent serious health problems.
Even if medicine can't completely cure the STD, it can help keep you from getting really sick. If you are given medicine for an STD, take it exactly as the doctor says.
