This is a question that is the most common when we carry out STD tests at one of our London Clinics, or the others which are to be found in major cities in the UK, Manchester or Birmingham for instance. The first thing that you should do is to tell all sexual partners who may have been exposed. Try to get them to get tested. If you feel that you cannot tell your partner, tell your health provider who help you in this difficult task.

You and your current sexual partners need to get treated at the same time to prevent re-infecting each other. Make sure you follow your health care provider’s directions on taking medications and make sure you finish all of the medicine prescribed, even if you feel better. After treatment have a follow-up exam with your health care provider. Do not have sex again until your health care provider says you are cured. Most STD’s can be cured and the first thing to do is to take an STD test.

    If you know you have an STD going to the Dr’s ASAP would be advisable.
