STI Screening, Treatment, and Partner Care
Confidential, judgment-free testing with clear next steps for you and your partners.
Regular screening catches infections early and prevents complications. We offer discreet testing, fast follow-up, and treatment plans that include partner management and prevention counseling tailored to your needs.
Fast Facts
Many STIs have no symptoms
Testing is simple—often urine, swab, or blood
Most bacterial STIs are curable with antibiotics
Partner treatment prevents reinfection
Common Symptoms (When Present)
- Vaginal discharge or odor changes
- Burning or pain with urination
- Pelvic pain or pain with sex
- Sores, bumps, or rashes on the genitals
- Bleeding between periods or after sex
Why It Matters
Untreated infections can affect comfort, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes. Early diagnosis and treatment reduce complications and transmission—and many infections are completely curable.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Based on your history and exposure, testing may include urine or vaginal/cervical swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea, blood tests for HIV and syphilis, and targeted testing for trichomonas, herpes, or hepatitis. We discuss exposure timing so tests are done at the right intervals.
Bacterial vs. Viral STIs
Bacterial (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis)
- Often curable with antibiotics
- Retesting recommended after treatment in some cases
- Partner treatment prevents reinfection
- Early care limits complications
Viral (e.g., HSV, HPV, HIV, hepatitis B/C)
- Managed long term; some have vaccines (HPV, hepatitis B)
- Antivirals reduce outbreaks or transmission risk
- Regular monitoring may be needed
- Prevention: vaccination, condoms, PrEP where appropriate
Treatment Options
We provide evidence-based treatment, expedited partner therapy when appropriate, and guidance on when you’re no longer contagious. We also review prevention options including condoms, vaccination (HPV, hepatitis B), and HIV prevention (PrEP/PEP) based on your risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How soon after an exposure should I test?
Some tests detect infection within days, while others require a window period. We may test now and repeat at the recommended interval to confirm results.
2Are my results confidential?
Yes. Results are private. Certain positive results are reported to public health as required, which helps with partner notification and community safety.
3Do my partners need treatment?
Often yes. Treating partners prevents reinfection. We can provide guidance and, when appropriate, expedited partner therapy.
4What if I have no symptoms?
Screening is still recommended based on risk and life stage. Many infections are silent but still transmissible.
