  2. Having control over your sexual health is the most important thing that positively influences you and your loved ones. • If you feel an STD test is required, the good news is you have access to FDA approved testing facilities. • All you need to do is place your order online, visit a DC immediate and primary care center or any other 24/7 hour STD clinic without an appointment and get the results delivered to you. Here are a few disquieting facts that we must all know • Nearly 180,000 Americans in their teens do not know they have HIV • 19 million new cases of STDs are detected every year • The message is clear – do not ignore the symptoms. Even if there are no symptoms get tested if you have had unprotected sex. • Visit your nearest 24/7 hour STD clinic and get tested without an appointment.

  3. The clinic has an STD panel that includes Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B&C. A few specifics to keep in mind about common STDs Chlamydia • It is a bacterial infection than affects the cervix in women and the urethra in men. • Chlamydia is among the most common STDs in the United States. A little under 1,600, 000 were reported to CDC in 2016. • This disease presents no outward symptoms but if left untreated can cause several complications such as irreversible damage to the fallopian tubes, sexually acquired reactive arthritis and more

  4. Gonorrhea • This disease is caused by a bacterial infection that affects the vagina, rectum, throat and eyes. • If left untreated it can spread to blood and joints causing several complications. Syphilis • Syphilis was once considered eradicated in the United States. But it is now back. • The numbers clearly points that this disease exclusively dominates men, though women do get affected. • Women who do not know they have syphilis can seriously endanger their babies with conditions such as low birth weight and still birth.

  5. HIV • HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. • A person who gets infected with this virus can get life-threatening diseases like cancers. • It is transmitted by sexual contact, blood transfusion and contact with vaginal fluids. • According to an estimate nearly 37 million people globally were living with HIV in 2017. • It must also be borne in mind that HIV cannot reproduce outside the human host and hence is not transmitted mosquitoes, insects, via saliva, or by hugging or shaking hands. Herpes • Herpes is a viral infection caused by HSV, short for herpes simplex virus. • It can be passed through sexual contact, so it is categorized as an STD.

  6. Know your status and help stop spread of STDs • Go to the nearest confidential STD center. • At a 24/7 hour STD clinic you have the following facilities • Private STD testing • Fast results – available within 1-2 days after your visit • Discreet – No questions asked and no paper work – just a urine or blood sample. • Doctor consultation available if the results are positive.
