Sexually Transmitted Infections: Discreet Testing Available
If you believe you are exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, then you mustn’t wait. Walk down your nearest urgent care clinic and undergo a test. Testing is the only way to find out whether you are infected. Please do not rely on symptoms because they may not always appear.
Why you mustn’t rely on symptoms
Most STDs are asymptomatic. At times, the symptoms are so common, you can hardly believe you are infected with an STD. Cough, cold, tiredness, skin rash, and such other symptoms usually do not ring a bell for a sexually transmitted disease. People take a regular treatment to deal with the symptoms, but fail to dig the root cause of the symptoms.
STDs are common
Sexually transmitted infections are as common as a common cold. So, please do not think this is something that happens to others. It can happen to anybody who is sexually active or has been active in the past.
If you are celibate now, but had sexual intercourse with somebody a few years back, you still need a test. Infections like HIV can stay in the body for decades. They may create initial symptoms, which generally go away by themselves. After that, the virus stays inside the body for years, slowly and steadily, deteriorating your immunity.
Testing is the first step
According to doctors, viral STDs are incurable, but the bacterial ones are completely curable. However, to cure them, you must undergo a test on time so that you start the treatment at the earliest.
Incurable STDs can be managed well thanks to progression in medical science. Patients who follow their doctor’s instructions carefully and take regular medication are able to lead normal lives.
In both the cases, a timely test can save you from a future health disaster. You can resume living a fulfilling sexual life with a proper test and treatment.
