Online STD treatment that’s caring and confidential

There are more than 30 known STDs. They pose a risk to public health — and to you. STDs are transmitted through sexual contact, leading to unwanted symptoms and potential reproductive consequences. While most are treatable, sexually transmitted infections result in 2.5 million deaths each year. 

Common STDs include:

• Chlamydia: an infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.
• Gonorrhea: a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
• Syphilis: an STD is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
• Trichomonas: caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis.
• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): HSV-1 typically spreads through oral contact and can cause oral and genital herpes. HSV-2 is often most associated with genital herpes and spreads through sexual contact.
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV): HPV is a group of viruses, some of which can lead to genital warts and others to various cancers, including cervical cancer. 
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): a virus that attacks the immune system, and if not treated, can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Coinfection of Hepatitis B and C occurs in 2% of people with HIV and both can spread through sexual contact.

While not a sexually transmitted disease, sexual activity can increase the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections (UTIs) too. 

If your online STD doctor or healthcare provider suspects an STD, they’ll begin by taking a detailed health history, including asking about any symptoms you currently have and about your sexual history and activity. 

Your provider may also do a physical examination to check for any visible signs of infection. To confirm the diagnosis, your healthcare provider may also order laboratory tests. These tests may include blood tests, urine tests, or swabs taken from your genital area to identify potential bacterial infections. 

If a diagnosis is confirmed, your provider will guide you through treatment options.

To treat STD infections, healthcare providers commonly prescribe STD medication that may include antibiotics, antivirals, and antiparasitics. 

Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics like amoxicillin, azithromycin, or doxycycline. These medications target the bacteria responsible for the infection, helping the body fight off the chlamydia bacteria and clear the infection.

For HSV, antiviral medications like acyclovir, docosanol, famciclovir, or valacyclovir are often prescribed.
