Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections that can be spread through sexual contact. Getting tested for STIs is important, as many people with STIs may not show any symptoms, but still spread the disease to others. Testing can help detect STIs early and prevent further spread of the infection.
Awareness is extremely vital when it comes to prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Physicians Urgent Care offers discreet STI testing and treatment every day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Although treatment can not always “cure” an STI, treatment in many cases can help alleviate symptoms and avoid transmission.
There are different types of tests available for different STIs. Some tests require a blood sample, while others require a urine or swab sample. The type of test you need will depend on the specific STI that you are being tested for. With in-house lab services, Physicians Urgent Care can test for most common STIs.
STI treatment also varies depending on the type of infection. Some STIs can be cured with antibiotics, while others can be managed with medication to control symptoms and prevent further spread of the infection. It is important to follow the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider and to complete the full course of medication, even if symptoms improve.

Many STIs can have serious health consequences if they aren’t treated; therefore, it’s vital you are knowledgeable about the infections out there, how to get treatment and how to prevent STIs. Regular testing for STIs can significantly reduce community spread, even if you aren’t showing symptoms, because oftentimes STIs do not have obvious symptoms.
