Testing positive for an STD is not uncommon, and there are steps you can take to manage your health:
Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up with our healthcare professionals at the STD testing center to discuss your results and treatment options. Many STDs are treatable with medication.
Inform Partners: It’s important to notify any sexual partners so they can also undergo STD testing and receive treatment if necessary. This helps prevent the spread of STDs.
Treatment: Follow the treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider. For some STDs, treatment may resolve the infection entirely, while others require management of symptoms.
Prevention: Discuss preventive measures with your healthcare provider, including safer sex practices and, for certain diseases like HPV and Hepatitis B, vaccination.
