STD

You should get tested for STDs before engaging in sexual activities with any new partner. This includes any type of vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse. You should also be tested if you show any signs of STDs.

 

Since there are many different types of STDs, symptoms can vary. Common types of STD symptoms include:

Some of these symptoms may also be caused by pimples, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and yeast infections. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s best to visit Little Village Immediate Care as soon as possible to determine your diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

There are different types of tests available to check for the presence of an STD infection, including:

These tests are available at Little Village Immediate Care, and your providers guarantee privacy during testing and when reviewing your results. In many cases, results are available the same day

If you test positive for an STD, that means you have been exposed to and contracted that specific STD. Your provider can offer you treatment beginning that day, as appropriate. While some STDs are caused by bacteria, other types are caused by viruses. Depending on the type of STD you have, your provider may recommend treatment with either antibiotics or antiviral medications.

Some STDs can be cured with a single-dose antibiotic injection, while other STDs are chronic and require long-term prescription medication. During your visit, your provider explains when to take your medication and how often or how long you’ll need to take it.

Along with avoiding sexual intercourse during an active infection and using condoms during sex, sharing your STD status with your partner is a way to prevent spreading the infection further.
