Testing and Treating Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Anybody who has oral, anal, or vaginal sex, or genital skin-to-skin contact with another person, can get STDs. The diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites may pass from person to person through blood, semen, or vaginal and other bodily fluids. A sexually transmitted infection can also spread to infants during pregnancy or childbirth.
That’s why it is important to use protection during intercourse. Condoms provide the best documented protection against pathogens such as gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus (HSV), hepatitis B, HIV, and chlamydia.

Specialist STD Testing and Treatment
Different STDs have different treatments based on the cause. Dr. G Medical Solutions performs thorough lab tests to find the cause of sexually transmitted diseases. We perform:
- Blood Test
- Urine Samples
- Fluid samples
The infections caused by bacteria are generally easier to treat, while diseases caused by viruses can be managed and treated, but not always cured.
STD testing is crucial if you are sexually active, because the condition may not show any symptoms and can cause health complications. Regular testing makes managing and treating easier and protects your partners from getting infected.
STD treatment consists of one of the following, depending on the infection:
- Antibiotics: Often, a single course can cure many STDs caused by bacteria or parasites, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. Moreover, we also recommend avoiding sexual activity until seven days after completing the antibiotic treatment and healing.
- Antiviral Drugs: This medication is prescribed to people with herpes and HIV. It keeps the viral infection from getting worse. Our STD doctor recommends using medicines as directed to lower the viral load in the blood, as it reduces the risk of spreading the virus to sex partners.
Moreover, the Dr. G Medical Solution’s STD clinic is always available for follow-up care, counseling, and resources for ongoing prevention.
