Early Detection Can Cure STDs


It may not be known to many, but there are sexually transmitted diseases that can be cured with proper treatment and medications. Examples of curable STDs are gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis and trichomonas. Gonorrhea and trichomonas may be cured with antibiotic drugs. This can kill the bacteria that cause the disease. Chlamydia may be treated with doxycycline or azithromycin. And syphilis may be treated with a course of penicillin. However, it is not as easy as you think it is. Though these diseases are curable, they still need more medical attention than you think.

Some of these diseases are asymptomatic. This means that they are difficult to detect because they show little or no symptoms at all. The only time symptoms would show up is when the case is already severe and complications have already occurred. This is when STD testing is most important. If you are sexually active and does not practice safe sex, then you better voluntarily take an STD test before worse happens.

There are several STD testing clinics available now in the different states in U.S. And this service is also now readily available in hospitals and other local health sites. Local STD testing results may come out in a few weeks after testing is done. The results will also be the basis of the doctor on what type of treatment should be given to the patient. The length of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the disease. Cure or treatment starts with early detection. If one doubts about his or her health condition, then health sites offer fast, easy and reliable STD testing anytime. It is now made more available to people to prevent the rise of more STDs. There are even some organizations that are willing to help those STD infected people by offering a more affordable STD testing. These only shows that more and more people are getting alarmed with what STD can do to people's health. And that STD is a serious matter to attend to.

If symptoms do occur, the person may experience abnormal and smelly discharge, itching, sores, blisters lumps, bumps and pain during urinating and sexual intercourse. Once these symptoms showed up, the person should seek for immediate treatment. Treatment may depend on what disease has infected the person. The period of treatment may also depend on the intensity of the disease. If the disease is detected early, then treatment will just be short. But if it was detected in a latter time, treatment may also be extended. And if complications have already occurred, more medications should be taken by the patient. The treatment and medications given from the STD test is mainly for the STD itself only. It will not help cure or treat the complications that occurred during the time of infection. Complications may need a separate treatment and set of medications.

STD testing clinics do not only offer testing or screening but also they give and share information for people to be aware of what the disease can do to them. And also, they offer counseling for infected patients who are suffering anxiety or stress due to the disease.

Which STDs Can Be Cured?


Quite a lot of times I have heard anecdotes of people avoiding STD tests because they're scared of knowing for sure that they have a sexually transmitted disease. They'd prefer to stay in the dark, but while there may have been a twisted logic to this some years ago when little could be done about sexually transmitted diseases, nowadays it makes no sense at all.

Some STDs can be cured, and there are ways of managing the symptoms of others to ensure they're barely a hindrance any longer. In the case of the diseases that there are cures for, delaying over a test and treatment can cause irreversible damage to the body, so regular STD tests are all important.

Here are the diseases that can be cured, followed by those that can be managed:

STDs with Cures

The sexually transmitted diseases that can be cured are all bacterial infections: Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis. All three can be 'silent' and must be tackled quickly to avoid irreparable damage.

- Gonorrhea is tackled with a course of antibiotics or antimicrobial, but if left alone can result in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, scarring to the urethra and infertility.

- Chlamydia is tackled by a week on doxycycline or a single dose of azithromycin, but can cause damage to the reproductive system in women and infertility in men.

- Syphilis is tackled with a course of penicillin (or alternate antibiotic for those with allergies), but this will not tackle any of the damage done to the eyes, brain, nervous system, joints, heart or bones in the later stages of the STD. Untreated Syphilis can even kill the patient.

Bear in mind that in all these cases, a cure does not mean the sexually transmitted disease cannot be caught again!

STDs with Manageable Symptoms

Beyond that, currently no major STDs can be completely cured. The good news is that the symptoms of other diseases can be managed once their presence is known via a STD test:

- Although Hepatitis C has no cure, the symptoms can be so minor as to not be noticeable. It can develop into a chronic condition that can cause serious liver failure though - if your doctor knows about this, the situation can be monitored and treatments offered to prevent it from becoming worse.

- Though some strains of genital warts can lead to cancer, the majority of them are harmless - just unsightly. The treatment provided won't destroy the virus - which can remain in the body for years - but will remove the visible symptoms, which are often the main source of transmission.

- While it's well documented that there is no cure for HIV and AIDS, certain antiretroviral treatments can dramatically improve both quality of life and life expectancy. As with many of these, an early diagnosis is vital for maximum impact.

- Most Herpes sufferer will find outbreaks uncomfortable, but rarely dangerous. However, if they have been diagnosed then episodic and suppressive antiviral therapy can be administered to control the attacks.

Many people work with the principal that ignorance is bliss when it comes to STDs - they'd rather not have to confront the truth and would prefer to live with doubt. The bottom line though is that many STDs have no symptoms and can be doing irreparable damage to your body for all the time they're left untreated. A simple cure can get rid of Syphilis, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, but it can't undo the damage! If you're in doubt, then stop delaying and book a STD test today!

Reliable STD Testing Questions - How Does My Partner Contract an STD If We Are Faithful & Exclusive?


The possibility of contracting an STD in a mutually exclusive and monogamous relationship is at a small percentage but is still a real possibility. In cases of sexually transmitted diseases contracted through an exclusive partner, a lot of times, people raise questions if there is a probable misdiagnosis or incorrect assumption that questions the validity of rapid STD testing procedures. Accepting and cooperating with someone whose partner may have been recently diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease can be difficult which is why it is important to understand the underlying factors that may promote the possibility of contracting the infection despite the arrangement between private the couples.

The biggest challenge with many STD symptoms such as Chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital herpes is that they can go on for more than years and not be detected since the carrier is asymptomatic or does not manifests symptoms. A lot of people do not carry infection manifestations of Chlamydia or gonorrhea when they acquire the disease, which is why routine STD testing is important in terms of keeping reproductive health at an optimal level.

A reliable STD testing is the only sure means to detect and manage a STD infection early on in order to avoid possible complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, infertility or infect unsuspecting partners is really a much better option than treating the complications itself.

Before entering a new companionship, a safe and health conscious measure is for both partners to undergo STD testing at STD Clinics to rule out the possibility of previous infections and if positive, properly diagnose and identify the kind of sexually transmitted disease and manage it. Even after gaining a negative test result on the STD testing, the only way to protect each other from contracting a sexually transmitted disease is to practice safe sex by using protective barriers such as condoms.

Condoms are not entirely reliable and do not have a 100% chance of shielding you from a sexually transmitted infection but it can increase the chances of stopping the transfer of the disease. It is always important to remember that STD testing is not entirely accurate, as some STD's may give a negative response if the infection is still premature and the test itself was conducted only a few days after initial contact.

Testing for common sexually transmitted diseases are fairly easy and do not require much time from both you and your partner. It is advisable to schedule an appointment with a private STD testing facility and discuss diagnostic options with the health practitioner to understand what kind of STD tests are applicable and ideal for your lifestyle choice, sexual practices and requirements.

A routine pap test for women can be a great diagnostic tool in ruling out some forms of sexually transmitted diseases. Typically penal and vaginal swabs are a good and standard STD testing processes also, although private testing facilities may require you and your partner to provide urine and blood samples. If you or your partner does test positive, it's not the end of the world, with the correct management and a prompt treatment regimen, you will be able to go back to a clean bill of health and not worry about sexual disease transmission.

Get STD Tested For Chlamydia Or Other Diseases - Concerned? Don't Wait!


STD, what is it? Who gets it? Is it treatable? Can you die from STD? How do you get tested? Lets answer some of these questions. First of all STD stands Sexually Transmitted Disease. It may also be called VD or Venereal Disease. STD is an illness transmitted between humans through some type of sexual contact, including vaginal intercourse, anal or oral sex.

STD may also be referred to as STI, "I" being infection, which simply means that a germ, virus, bacteria or parasite can cause disease or sickness and present itself inside your body. Sometimes there are no signs or symptoms so a infected person may not know that he or she has an STD. An infected person can infect others without even knowing it. STD can lead to a life threatening situation. If is very important to get tested if you have had multiple partners or high risk activities. Get tested today.

STD is broken down to Chlamydia, Herpes (oral & genital), syphilis, gonorrhea, and Hepatitis B & C.

Chlamydia - this is a common STD caused by the bacterium, chlamydia trachomatis, this can damage female reproductive organs. Chlamydia is know as a silent disease because in 75% of infected women and 50% of the men never have any symptoms. Symptoms in women include abnormal vaginal discharge and burning sensation when urinating. Other female signs are pain during intercourse, abdominal pain, lower back pain, and bleeding between menstrual periods. For men, they may experience discharge or a burning sensation during urinating. Chlamydia can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics. If left untreated it can seriously affect the reproductive organs. Chlamydia can be prevented by abstinence or by using condom, the risk can be reduced.

Herpes - this is a virus caused by the Herpes simplex virus type 1 & 2. Most individuals have minimum or no symptoms at all. When signs occur it is usually blisters around the genitals or rectum. Once the blisters break they leave sores that take between two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. An outbreak can appear weeks or months after the initial one, but it is usually less severe and shorter in time than the first outbreak. There is no cure for Herpes however the outbreaks can be shorten and prevented with antiviral medications. To prevent Herpes you can stay with one partner or abstain from sexual contact.

GET STD TESTED TODAY!!!

Syphilis - this is a STD caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum, it is often referred to as "the great imitator." It has many signs and symptoms as other diseases. Signs may include a sore or sores, skin rash, lesions, and late stage serious organ damage. Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a Syphilis sore. Sores can occur on the genitals (anus, penis, rectum, vagina) as well as the mouth and lips. Syphilis can be cured in its early stages with penicillin or an antibiotic. When being treated, a person must abstain from sexual activity. To prevent Syphilis you should have just one partner or abstain from sexual contact

Gonorrhea - this is a STD caused by the bacterium Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, which can grow in warm and moist areas of the reproductive tract including cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes (women) and urethra in men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus. Any sexually active person can be infected with Gonorrhea. The highest cases are usually in teenagers, young adults, and African Americans. Gonorrhea is spread through the penis, vagina, mouth or anus. A person who has been treated for Gonorrhea can be infected again if there is sexual contact with another infected person. Sometimes there are no symptoms or may be mistaken for bladder infections. Burning sensations may occur or unusual discharge, rectal bleeding, sore testicles. Although medication may stop infection it will not reverse any permanent damage done by the disease. If left untreated, Gonorrhea can cause serious health problems. The safest way to prevent Gonorrhea is to abstain from sexual contact or use a condom to reduce the chances of infection.

Hepatitis - this disease involves inflammation of the liver and should be studied in depth; it can be very serious, along with all the other STDs. Hepatitis is caused by a virus and there are types A,B,C,D, & E. It is frequently transmitted by fecal-oral route, by person to person or through consumption of contaminated food or water. The most common types are A, B, & C. For any type of Hepatitis, it is recommend to first get tested and then see a physician.

STDs can be mild or advanced. You can be infected and not even know it. If caught in time, you can be cured, if you wait to long STD can be life threatening. You owe it to yourself and your family, go get STD tested today!




Get STD tested today, don't wait another minute. STDs can lead to life threatening illnesses that may or may not have any signs or symptoms.

They are usually contracted by having sex with an infected partner. Even just close genital contact is enough to spread the condition. And, they're not something you want to risk infecting others with! For more information go to: http://www.getstdtestedtoday.com/

10 Important Facts About Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) & Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)


1. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDS)?

Sexually transmitted diseases are diseases that can be passed from person to person through sexual contact. In this case sexual contact means penis-vagina penetration, oral sex which is sexual contact using the mouth, and insertion of the penis into the rectum which is anal sex. Some of these diseases may be transmitted by exchange of sexual fluids such as semen or vaginal discharge. Some of the STD's result in open sores, and it can be spread by contact with skin of someone else. There are also ways to transmit these diseases in a non sexual way, an infected pregnant woman can either give it to her baby during pregnancy, or when the baby is being delivered. Drug abusers can transmit the disease through sharing hypodermic needles that have been used by an infected person. The seriousness of STD's varies, some are cured easily by drugs, others need a combination of treatments and drugs, whilst others have no cure, and the only option is treatment.

2. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED IINFECTIONS (STI's)?

Any infection that is usually passed through sexual contact.

3. ARE THE TWO WORDS INTERCHANGEABLE?

Fifteen years ago both these categories came under one name Venereal Disease (VD). To distinguish between them they were separated into infections (STI) and diseases(STD). Infection means that a germ, bacteria, parasite or virus is present in the body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms, which means that they do not usually feel ill..A disease is any abnormal condition of the body or mind that causes

discomfort, dysfunction, or distress, in other words your body tells you that you are unwell. This means that STI covers a wider range than the term STD. STD refers only to infections that are causing problems. Because most of the time, people don't know they are infected with an STI until they start showing symptoms of disease, the AIDS Resource Center uses the term STD, even though the term STI is also appropriate in many cases.

Let's see if we can simply un-muddy the waters here. Genital herpes has two states when the blisters are present and when they are absent. When they are

present they are causing symptoms, ie the blisters, at this stage it is an STD, and it is that this stage that the infection is most likely to be spread to another

person.When the blisters are absent then there are no symptoms, and this is then an STI, and the likelihood of an infection is reduced. However, HIV can be

an infection, in the sense that there may be no symptoms, when they develop symptoms then they have AIDS which is an STD. However it is important to

remember that HIV infection can be spread at any time.

4.WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STD'S AND HIV?

A person who is already infected with STD, has a higher risk of contracting HIV if they have unprotected sex, without a condom. This risk is greater if the STD causes open genital sores, as these wounds provide a break in the skin which enables the HIV infection to enter the blood stream. STDs that can

cause genital ulcers include genital herpes, syphilis, chancre, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and scabies.

5.WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU MAY HAVE A STD?

First of all the majority of the people with STD have no immediate symptoms and when they do have them it can be misleading to diagnose as the

symptoms can be confused with non sexual diseases. Please note that this applies much more to women than men.

6. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR WOMEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

unusual or bad-smelling vaginal discharge,

severe itching or burning in the genital area,

unusual bleeding,

pain in the pelvic region,

pain during sex,

rashes on the genitals,

open sores or warts on the genital area, and/or recurrent urinary tract infections.

7. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR MEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

In men, the most common symptoms of STD are:

pain when urinating,

open sores or warts on the genital are

genital rash

discharge from the penis, and/or pain in the scrotum/testicles.

8. WHAT ARE THE OTHER SYMPTOMS NOT CONNECTED TO THE GENITALS?

The following symptoms are present in both men and women:

discharge from the anus,

swelling of the groin,

jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes),

oral thrush (white tongue),

arthritis,

sores or bumps in and around the mouth, and

generalized rashes.

9 CAN I CONTRACT STI AS A RESULT OF MUTUAL MASTERBATION?

Yes you can and listed below are some examples:

Bacterial Vaginosis

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Herpes Simplex

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV, Warts)

Pubic Lice

Scabies

10. CAN I PREVENT GETTING STI or STD?

The only foolproof way is abstinence from sex. A condom merely reduces the risk, and it must be used every time, before any sexual fluids are exchanged.

What Are the Symptoms of STDs?


People are very funny about sexually transmitted diseases. Despite our society's increased openness about sexuality in general, STDs are still a huge taboo: people find it embarrassing to admit that they've even been tested (even though it's a mature decision to make) let alone if they ever had treatment for a disease.

As such, people are always going to great pains to avoid making an appointment for an STD test. They increasingly do internet research to find out symptoms and try and figure out what's wrong with a self diagnosis, even though this really isn't the sort of thing that you should second guess - untreated STDs can lead to infertility, brain damage, heart disease, birth defects and in some cases death. And of course, they can also be spread onto others, giving them the risks as well. If you are in any doubt about your health, or think you have been taking risks, then you should really get an STD test.

So although I'm going to outline some of the symptoms that sufferers might see, this is not a substitute to a proper test for two reasons.

1) Many of the symptoms of STDs can be easily confused with those of similar conditions

2) In a good proportion of cases, those with STDs will exhibit no symptoms at all!

But with those caveats out of the way, here are the symptoms you might see if you have picked up a sexually transmitted disease:

In Women

· Sores, blisters or bumps around the genitals, anus and/or mouth

· A burning sensation while urinating

· An itching sensation while urinating

· Itching, unusual odour and/or unusual discharge from the vagina or anus

· Pains or aches in the lower abdomen

· Bleeding from the vagina outside of your period

In Men

· Sores, blisters or bumps around the genitals, anus and/or mouth

· A burning sensation during urination

· An itching sensation during urination

· Unusual discharge from the penis

· Itching, pain or discharge from the anus

Bear in mind that if these symptoms do indeed represent a sexually transmitted disease's presence and that the likelihood is that said STD is from a recent sexual encounter that symptoms can take weeks, months and sometimes ever years to manifest themselves. This means that not only can it be difficult to figure out where you may have got it, but also that if symptoms don't show up immediately this does not mean you have avoided catching a STD.

To conclude and reiterate: although the above symptoms may appear in many STD sufferers, the truth is that there is only one way to be absolutely certain of your health: book a STD test. The symptoms could be a STD, they might be related to something else, or they might be nothing to worry about! If you have any reason to believe that you may have caught a sexually transmitted disease, book an STD test today, and rest with peace of mind - there's really nothing to be embarrassed about.

Learn About STDs And Love Will Not Hurt


STDs are extremely dangerous especially for women, taking into consideration that at a moment in their life they are responsible for two, or even more persons that means when they are pregnant. On the one hand, STDs can lead to uterine cervix cancer or they can be transmitted to the baby while giving birth or after birth. The bad news is that a person can catch more STDs in the same time.

First, a popular STD is Chlamydia infection. It is caused by a bacteria and it usually does not develop any symptoms. However, there can be noticed vagina or penis discharges, pain, or burning feeling while urinating. It is very unpleasant but it can be treated.

Genital herpes has viral origin. It develops as blisters covering genital organs and it can be transmitted from the mother to the baby. As far as treatment is concerned, it reduces the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the lesions, but it does not eliminate the infection.

Furthermore, most of the times B hepatitis is the most frequently associated with sexual contact. The most common symptoms are yellow pigment covering large areas of the skin and the eyes as well. The patient can develop fever, different pains, and fatigue. To continue with, if it is not treated on time, they can complicate, leading to cirrhosis or hepatic cancer. Unfortunately, there is no traditional treatment, but there are anti hepatitis vaccines, which can prevent the disease.

Gonorrhea is another frequent STD, signaled by vagina and penis secretions, and pain while urinating. This disease is dangerous because it can lead to infertility. Nevertheless, it can be treated.

Furthermore, syphilis does not develop severe symptoms at the beginning. It can start with a painless ulceration at genital level, which can cure spontaneously. After that, skin rash can emerge as well as headache and pain in the joints. If it is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to unwanted consequences upon the psychic.

Another STD is represented by genital warts, which can be triggered by a virus. There can emerge painless prominences in the genital and anal area, whose shape can be associated with a tiny cauliflower. Fortunately they can be treated in more manners.

An extremely unpleasant STD is triggered by lice. They are little insects finding shelter in the pubic hair. They can be caught after contact with infested clothes or bed linen. At the beginning you may have itching sensation in the pubic area. It is a disagreeable disease, but it can be treated.

In addition, scab is a skin infection caused by a parasite. It can spread rapidly, through sexual contact, skin contact, bed linen, towels, or furniture, which has been infested. It can be as well treated.

Even if most of these diseases can be treated, as soon as you notice something wrong with you and you suspect you have contacted a STD, you must go immediately to the doctor, in order to prevent its spreading. Besides, sexual education may be beneficial in STDs prevention.

Where to Find STD Testing Sites


Worried you might have STDs? The symptoms you're feeling may or may not be STDs at all. Some symptoms of STDs do not show at all. Some symptoms of STDs can be confused for another medical condition. A simple yeast infection can be mistaken for STD. Those tiny bumps on the penis might just be pimples or an irritated hair pore and not Syphilis.

The only way to accurately find out if you have STDs is to have yourself immediately tested. It helps to eliminate the possibility of you having STD rather than be oblivious to that fact that you are already infected and have done nothing about it. It also helps that testing specifies particularly what disease is infecting you so that the proper treatment and medication will be applied.

Leaving symptoms untreated can do more harm to your body. These might develop into severe cases of STDs that may no longer be curable. Early detection of STD infections may lead to immediate cure. Yes! Some STDs are curable if treated during its early stages. STD testing is a great help in the early detection of this disease.

The next question is: where do you go for STD testing? There are hospitals that do STD testing. But you will have to get a doctor's recommendation first before you get tested. Plus, it is more expensive to have it done in the hospital. Since there are a lot more cases that they handle, it takes time for you to have yourself tested and getting the results may take several days after. Hospitals are required by law to submit medical results to the Medical Bureau. So there is no anonymity if you have yourself tested in a hospital.

If you want privacy and fast results have yourself tested in STD Testing Sites instead. These testing sites could either be centers or clinics catering to your specific need for STD testing. Highly trained health professionals will perform all your medical requirements concerning STD testing. This would usually entail gathering samples of blood, urine, saliva and discharges. Tissue scrapping and skin analysis may also be done depending on the discretion of the medical practitioner.

All these samples will be sent to a laboratory for examination and analysis. They will determine the type of pathogen that infected you and the severity of your infection. From these results, the medical practitioner will be able to recommend the appropriate treatment for your disease. You can request that the medical results be sent to you through mail or over the telephone. In this way, all your medical information is kept confidential and is only known between you and the medical staff concerned. You don't risk exposing your health status to the public.

To find STD Testing sites, you can go on the internet and search for their locations. You can also check their credentials if they are duly authorized by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) to perform such tests. You can also ask for referrals from family, friends, or the laboratory near your location. There is at least one in your city or locality.

The Lowdown on the STD Gonorrhea


Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that can be acquired through the exchange of bodily fluids such as blood, semen, and saliva. It also goes by the name "the Clap," and is caused by a bacterium which infects the cervix, urethra, throat, or anus. Most people who contract gonorrhea are under the age of 30; in fact, 75% of all cases in the United States involve people between the ages of 16 to 30. That is why getting tested at STD clinics are important especially if you belong to the high risk group.

Symptoms of gonorrhea generally appear between 2 to 10 days after initial infection, although sometimes it could take as long as 30 days for your symptoms to appear. If you are female and suffering from gonorrhea, you may experience bleeding after sex and frequent, painful urination. Later symptoms may include nausea, fever, vomiting, bleeding between periods, and a yellow or bloody vaginal discharge. Seek consult immediately when these symptoms occur, or better yet, get tested regularly at local STD clinics near you.

Gonorrhea can be difficult to diagnose, especially in women because women often exhibit few or no symptoms, or mistake gonorrhea for a mild bladder infection: In fact, as many as 50% of female gonorrhea sufferers experience no symptoms at all. That is why even if you do not show any symptoms it would be wise to get tested at your local STD clinic to check for the presence of the disease.

If you are a man infected with gonorrhea, you may experience the following symptoms: pain while urinating, frequent urination, and swollen testicles. These symptoms indicate an infection of the urethra. There may also be a white, green, or yellow discharge from the tip of your genital and will probably look tender and redder than usual. If you have these symptoms and think that you might have Gonorrhea, it is advisable that you go to a STD clinic and seek consult to determine whether or not you have the STD.

The bacteria that cause gonorrhea can also infect the anus and throat. Symptoms in the anus include painful bowel movements, itching, discharge, and bloody stool. An oral infection causes sore throat, and a pus-like material in the tonsils or in the back of the throat. Infections in these areas can easily spread to other parts of the body so it is important to get tested and treated as soon as possible. A visit to a STD clinic can help prevent such complications.

If it goes untreated, gonorrhea can be a potentially dangerous and life-threatening disease. Women who are infected with gonorrhea risk developing a variety of complications since the bacteria can easily travel from the cervix into the uterus, and eventually up the fallopian tubes. It may cause ectopic pregnancies which not only causes miscarriage but is potentially life threatening and may be a cause of infertility afterwards. Before things get out of hand, visit a STD clinic now and check if you are infected or not.

If you display any of the symptoms of gonorrhea, or think you may have been exposed even though you are asymptomatic, then it is important to get tested for the infection as soon as possible. Pregnant women are strongly encouraged to be tested since the infection can be passed on to your child.

In knowing more about STDs, one can refer to STD pictures for a visual idea of what it is all about. Some symptoms and manifestations of STDs are quite similar to some common diseases that is why it is important to refer to actual STD pictures to see if some symptoms you are having qualified as STD.

Syphilis

Symptoms of Syphilis are the appearance of round sores called Chancre around the genital areas or the rectum. The sores are round and usually appear in clusters and are very recurrent.

Genital Warts

Genital warts are caused by a called "Human Papilloma Virus".

Do I Have Genital Herpes? - The Symptoms of Genital Herpes


You are feeling quite different a few days after you have had unprotected sexual intercourse and now you are asking: Do I have genital herpes? Well only a medical doctor can truly say if you are infected or not but if you really want to know more about this STD then read on.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by the herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2). One main problem with herpes is that sometimes it does not show any symptoms. This unfortunately means that people could be carrying the disease and not be aware of it, posing a huge risk to both themselves and any sexual partners they may have. If symptoms are present, they are usually very general and common STD symptoms (such as inflammation, burning urination and flu like symptoms) making it easy to misdiagnose the disease as some other illness.

An important thing that people should know about genital herpes is that one of its most common symptoms is the appearance of lesions or blisters. The blisters are usually filled with fluid and has an appearance that is similar to cold sores except that instead of appearing in the surrounding areas of the mouth, herpes blisters appear in and around the genital area. After a few days, the blisters will turn into open sores then crust will appear on top it which signals the healing stage. The whole genital herpes breakout cycle can last from two weeks to a month.

Herpes blisters are usually accompanied by other symptoms which include flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, weakness and muscle pain. Individuals with genital herpes can also experience painful urination.

Another fact that you should know about this STD is that it currently has no known cure. So once contracted, the virus that causes this disease stays in your body for life. Some people only have one breakout and then never hear from the disease again, but this is very uncommon. It is far more likely that a breakout will happen again after the initial one, and periodically throughout the sufferer's life.

Luckily, despite the rumors and horror stories about herpes, the symptoms are in fact very easy to control with diet and the right treatment.

If you notice the symptoms mentioned above, your best course of action is to see a doctor for an official diagnosis, and then organize treatment and a diet plan to combat the outbreaks.

The Advantages of Same Day STD Testing


According to the American Social Health Organization, there are approximately 18.9 million new STD cases, excluding HIV, that occur every year in the U.S. More than half of all people in the world will be infected with an STD at one point in their life. However, only a handful of them will get a STD Test. STD Testing is important to ensure there are no infections present and that you do not pass on the disease to others.

Frequently, there are no symptoms that manifest when you have a STD. If symptoms are present STD Testing at STD clinics is recommended. If they do appear, symptoms may include one or more of the following: Bumps, sores or warts near the mouth, anus, or genitals, swelling or redness near the genitals, skin rash, painful urination, weight loss, loose stools, and night sweats.

Because STDs are usually asymptomatic, do not assume that you or your partner is not infected just because you do not show any symptoms. An STD can be present for years before they become symptomatic and by then the STD has already progressed, so the only way to know for sure if you or your partner has an STD is to get an STD test.

STD testing done on the same day is a very simple process. When you call an STD Clinic, you will anonymously speak to one of their experienced STD testing counsellors about your symptoms and other concerns. They will ask you questions about your risk factors and other pertinent information. After assessing what diseases you may be at risk for, they will have you go to their clinic to get some tests done for those conditions.

All testing includes free pre & post test counselling which insures the proper form of testing for your case. STD testing performed at the STD testing clinics are 100% confidential, accurate, and best of all, affordable. Private and confidential testing is their top priority and live counsellors with years of experience in helping people in your same situation will determine if you are at risk. Take control of your health today by getting tested at STD clinics.

There are four easy steps:

1) speak with the health counsellor

2) order your tests

3) visit the STD clinic

4) and call them for the results.

There are thousands of STD Testing locations that can be found nationwide.

For specific STDs, you can also be tested like, for example, HIV and know your results in just one day.

The First Signs of an STD


A sexually transmitted disease is something that any sexually active person will not want to have. Therefore, it is very important to know what are usually the first signs of an STD is.

There are many and different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. However, most STDs have similar initial symptoms. Below are some of the first signs of an STD:

-Excretions from the vagina or the urethra that are highly unusual

-Itching, no matter how intense or moderate

-Sensation of pain during sexual intercourse

-Sensation of pain during urination

-Sores that are open on body parts that you remember have touched or have come in contact with your sexual partner's genital area

-Swelling or bumps, regardless if it just one, but more importantly if they are many and found in groups in or near the genital area or the mouth. Be more aware if the bumps have fluids or pus in them and if they are painful.

-Weird smells emanating from your body, especially from your excretions

-Sudden appearance of warts or swelling in or on the genitals

-Mites or other parasites that may be infesting the genital area

-Usual symptoms of illness such as a rise in body temperature, a feeling of weakness, migraine or headache, or dizziness and a need to throw up

-Pain experienced in the abdominal area, more specifically in the lower portion of the abdominal area

-Off-cycle menstruation, or a delay in the arrival of the menstruation

-An increase in the frequency of voiding or urination

-Unusual change in the color of the skin, or sudden/easy appearance of bruises

-Loss of hair in several areas of the head

These are usually the first signs of an STD. These symptoms are not just symptoms for STDs. However, those who are sexually active must take note of these symptoms and have themselves properly and immediately checked by a healthcare representative who will be able to confirm any possible infections. The first signs of an STD are not an accurate time gauge as to when one has contracted the virus or the disease. Some symptoms may even take days or weeks before they start to appear from the time that they have made contact with the original carrier of the disease.

If one has identified himself or herself as having one (or more) of the first signs of an STD, it would be proper for this person to cease any further sexual activities from that point onwards, in order to avoid transmitting whatever disease he or she may be carrying to another person/s. Also, another preventive measure to take is to contact previous partners (if there are more than one), and inform them that you have contracted the disease. It would also be a very good idea to advise them to have themselves checked as well, to avoid further spread of whatever sexually transmitted disease they might be carrying and have therefore passed on to you.

The best bet for sexually active people is to have themselves checked regularly, even before seeing signs of an STD, as an action for future prevention.

Keep Yourself Alive - Queen and the Importance of STD Testing


Would STD testing have saved the life of Freddie Mercury? The chances are that it would NOT have since the STD that he caught was HIV/AIDS and there were no reliable treatment options at that time. Still, testing for sexually transmitted diseases should be part of everyone's general health plan (unless, of course, you are a practicing celibate). It's the smart and responsible thing to do.

Queen burst onto the music scene in the early seventies, combining progressive rock with opera undertones meshed with hard driving, straight-up rock & roll. Their sound was not easy to categorize, their lead singer harder still. Farrokh Bulsara-better known as Freddie Mercury-was born in Zanzibar to Zoroastrian parents, but quickly shed both name and religion to become one of the greatest rock front men ever. Living his life with sheer abandon, he eventually passed away from complications due to AIDS on November 24th, 1991-just one day after publicly admitting he was sick from the virus.

Living the life of a rock and roll star certainly came with consequences for Freddie. STD testing would have been the norm for anyone in his position, but his unease regarding his bi-sexuality may have caused him to bury his head in the sand when it came to actions that would have been second nature to anyone else in his position with more traditional sexual proclivities.

Freddie's performances were legendary and he was considered by many to be on a completely different level than his contemporaries. Over their career, Queen played many shows in packed soccer arenas and Freddie had no problem singing directly to the last row as well as the first. Testing the bounds of his chosen genre, he was flamboyant and phenomenal, using his four-octave voice to belt out some of the biggest hits of the time. These hits include We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and the singular and sensational Bohemian Rhapsody.

For anyone engaging in sexual activity, no matter your age or orientation, or whether in the fast lane or the tortoise freeway, STD testing is a great way to stay on top of your health-and the health of your lovers. Claiming to love someone and then infecting them with a harmful STD is something we should do anything we have to in order to avoid.

There are over twenty five separate diseases that qualify as an STD and chances are that if you engage in sexual activity with more than one person you are going to catch (at least) one of them. Freddie Mercury caught the deadliest of all STDs, and it is possible for anyone to suffer the same consequences as he for lack of testing. Here is a list of just some of the diseases that you should be tested for and their symptoms.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia sufferers may show no symptoms at all, especially in men. In those individuals that do show symptoms they include discharge from the penis or vagina and inflammation of the eyes.

Genital Herpes

Be on the lookout for the presence of blisters and sores on the genitals and their surrounding areas, discharge from the penis or vagina and/or swelling and itching in the infected areas.

Gonorrhea

A bloody or yellowish discharge and a painful burning during urination are this disease's symptoms. The pain has been described as, "pissing razor blades." That'd give me a sheer heart attack.

Genital Warts

Symptoms include small painless bumps on or near the genitals.

Hepatitis B

Obvious symptoms include jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and eyes), fever, joint and muscle pain, headaches and fatigue.

HIV/AIDS

Low fever, night sweats, fatigue, extreme weight loss, red and purplish splotches on the skin.

When it comes to testing for HIV/AIDS who fits the bill? Here is a list of individuals and circumstances that would make you a prime candidate for testing.

• Anyone who engages in unprotected sex

• Anyone who has multiple sexual partners

• Anyone with a history of other sexually transmitted diseases

• Anyone beginning a new sexual relationship

• Victims of rape

• International bi-sexual rock stars

HIV Testing-like all STD testing-is completely safe and quick. Testing is achieved by an analysis of your blood which is scanned for antibodies produced by the immune system when HIV is present. The test is over ninety nine percent accurate. In the case of a positive result, a secondary test is performed using the same blood sample to negate a false positive result.




For those in the New York City area thinking about getting HIV testing in NYC or any STD at all, log onto STD testing in NYC STDCenterNY.com for more information. The clinic is located just blocks from Grand Central Station and thus easily accessible by bus and subway. Or call 1-212-696-5900 to arrange an appointment today. Queen was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2001. Freddie Mercury was not there to share in the honor.

Different Types of STDs


STDs are most common in teens and young adults ages 15 to 25. Many believe that this number is so high due to the fact that at such a young age, they take more risks. Think about it. When you were a teenager, you thought the world evolved around your friends. You wanted to do everything that your friends did. Especially dress alike. I guess most of it was peer pressure.

STDs are still on the rise. This is mainly because parents are still afraid of talking to their kids about sex. Why? When we should want our children to make better choices than we did growing up. Parents and kids need to know the facts of STDs. They need to know that THEY can get one if they have unprotected sex. Whether you have a boy or girl. The facts are still the same, only they just "show up" in our bodies a different way.

Here are some basic facts about some STDs.

HIV is the #1 killer these days. People can have HIV in their body (dormant) for up to 10 years! And never even knew that they had it. So, imagine over a 10 year life span the number of sexual partners you've had unprotected sex with. Now, depending on your circumstances, that number could be high. Having sex whether using protection or not, your still at risk of being infected with any disease. Symptoms of HIV include: fever and night sweats, discoloration of the skin, sudden weight loss, and severe fatigue. Also, many times if you have a TB skin test and it comes back positive, a HIV test will be done too (and/or vice versa). Currently, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS virus. Its symptoms are controlled by medications.

Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs contracted by teens. Usually since you don't have any symptoms, it is often called the "silent" disease. Some of its common symptoms may include pain during sexual intercourse, burning when urinating, cloudy vaginal discharge, and lower abdominal pains. Therefore, Chlamydia is curable. Yet, it is very important for you and your partner to get treated at the same, to prevent re-infection. If left untreated, there is the possibility of being unable to have children.

Genital Herpes has been around for a long time in the United States. Some people even believe as far back as Romeo and Juliet. Yep, that long ago. But really, this is still a very serious disease today. Most people first think of herpes when they get a fever blister This is a minor stage of the disease. Although with the next phase of this disease, normally you only get it through sexual contact. The main symptoms of genital herpes include the outbreaks of rashes, and fever blisters that can be very painful while taking weeks to heal. Currently, there is no cure for genital herpes. The symptoms are controlled with medications.

I hope those 3 STDs can give you some insight about how serious STDs are. My advice to you is that you talk with your children. All children need to know about this. Younger children need to know their major parts of their body by NAME (it has been proven that "predators" stay away from children that know their body parts). As for teenagers, talk to them about all the risk of unprotected sex. Let them see pictures of what some of these STDs could do to them. Yep, put some fear into them for them to take you serious. But above all, try to build a relationship with your children so that they can communicate with you. And build trust with them.

Even with all your efforts, your children sometimes still do want they want to. I hate to say it, but, they live and learn from their mistakes. But even then, we're still their parents and have to love them and continue to accept their choices.




I have been a nurse for over 12 years. I have seen the affects of what an STD could do to our bodies. Especially children. Let's continue to work together to prevent the spread of STDs. Visit my website, Test Private For STDs to learn more information and how to get a std home testing kit.

Know a Little About STD Testing Procedures


Early detection of STDs is your first step in prevention and cure of the disease. The fastest way you can accurately detect STD infection is to have yourself tested in an STD clinic. If you are a sexually active person, especially engaging in sex with multiple partners you are at a very high risk of exposure to STDs. Whether you are feeling any symptoms of STDs or not, you should have yourself tested IMMEDIATELY!

To eliminate your fears about having yourself tested, this article serves to inform you of the basic and most common STD testing procedures. STD testing is not that complicated or expensive. Some tests will require you one or more return trips to the center for a series of examinations. STD Testing procedures will all depend on the type of infection that you have.

Here are some STD testing procedures that you should know. Actual STD tested is recommended according to the discretion of the health team.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a bacterial disease that shows more visible signs in women than in men. Since visible symptoms appear on the first to third week from exposure, you don't have to wait for these symptoms to be visible. Initially a pelvic examination will be conducted by the health practitioner to see if there any visible signs of infection. In women, the bacteria causing Chlamydia infects the cervix and uterus. A cervical swab is inserted in the vagina to get samples of the mucous lining. This sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis and testing. If there are any genital discharges, these are also gathered and sent for laboratory testing. Mucous samples from the throat are also taken if the person engages in oral to genital sex.

Gonorrhea

Symptoms of this disease appear from the 2nd to the 30th day of exposure. They will immediately conduct a physical examination of the genitals and rectum where immediate signs appear. Urine samples will be gathered and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Discharge from the vagina or penis is also collected and tested if bacteria causing gonorrhea is present.

Hepatitis B

Although Hepatitis B sometimes does not show any symptoms, changes in the person's outer appearance indicate the presence of the disease. They will conduct a physical examination if the skin or eyes have turned yellow. Stool and urine samples will be taken and tested for the presence of the virus. Dark urine and gray colored bowel movements are usually indicators of Hepatitis.

HIV

Since this disease do not show any severe symptoms until after 10 years, its initial flu like symptoms are always mistaken for the common fever. Flu like symptoms usually develops after 2 to 6 weeks of exposure to HIV infection. They will immediately check for symptoms of fever, headache, sore throat, fatigue, rash, and swollen lymph glands. For a more accurate diagnosis, an HIV antibody blood test is taken. Sometimes the infection takes 3 months to show more visible symptoms so a re-screening blood test should be taken again.

On How Local STD Testing is Advantageous


Sexually transmitted diseases or STDS happens to many people all over the world. Some warning symptoms of STDS are very much obvious but in its early stages, you or your partner may not notice it for the reason that STDS may sometimes be asymptomatic.

Sex is but part of life. It is a desire that is very much needed to be satisfied and even though you can get pleasure from it may also be a means to your express love for your mate and satiate the sexual desires of your body. STDs should never become a hindrance in fulfilling your needs. There are means to correct and prevent it.

There are many and different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. However, most STDs have similar initial symptoms: Itchiness, no matter how intense or moderate; Excretions coming from the vagina and/or urethra; Sensations of pain during sex; painful voiding; Weird smells emanating from your body, especially from your excretions; etc. A sore, lump, or rash that is located in the genital area in either you or your partner's is also considered one of the symptoms of STDS. These things may or may not be painful, may or may not be itchy or could otherwise be just nothing more than just a mark. Then again they should not be ignored and should always be given prompt treatment and attention because even though the lesions are not painful, they can be a primary sign that you or your partner has the infection.

The absence of the mentioned warning signs of STDS may be indicative that you are free from it or may not be able to acquire it. This kind of infection knows no one and true enough, you may be able to mask some symptoms by using products brought commercially but you only mask it on the outside; systemically the pathogen causing the infection is still there. Also, some STDs do not manifest any symptoms at all until the disease has progressed to a point wherein it is already dangerous. That is why the absence of symptoms does not always mean that you are free from the disease.

Pathogens that cause various STDs differ from one another and have their own specific treatment and sometimes, these symptoms may be quite similar to some other disease condition which means the only sure way to know if what you have are really warning signs of STDS you have to be tested for it. That is why going to STD clinics is the best way to counter act the problem that STDs bring. Here, they have a lot of tests that can help you determine whether or not you are positive for the STD or not. So how does local STD testing occur? They ask a series of questions and take samples that will be sent to the lab. Based on the findings of these two things, the client is diagnosed of having STD or not.

So if you test positive for STD, contact previous partners (if there are more than one), and inform them that you have contracted the disease. It would also be a very good idea to advise them to have regular check-ups as well, so as to avoid the further transfer of whatever STD they might posses and have therefore be likely to be passed on to you.

Are You Ready For Love? STDs Overview


We all can get ill at a specific moment in our life, because of our negligence or other people's negligence; we can catch a cold or flu, measles etc. STDs, standing for Sexually Transmitted Diseases, unlike the previous ones represent the consequence of our negligence and not only...

Initially the expression "sexual disease" used to mean both syphilitic and gonorrheal infections, considered a single disease. In time, scientists have discovered that they are two different diseases and they have discovered as well other affections (more than 20) which can be transmitted sexually.

STDs are affections whose pathogen agents are transmitted through direct contact with the infected area or through the infected fluids of the body - vaginal secretions, sperm, and blood. The term is used in order to describe infectious affections transmitted especially by vaginal penetration, oral or anal and whose symptoms are mainly located in the genital area.

They are spread especially via sexual contact because they can be rarely spread through contact with the infected area, contact with infected objects or from mother to fetus. Symptoms are located especially in the genital area because they can be as well located in other areas like mouth, neck, eyes.

STDs can be classified in two broad categories:

Major STDs, like:

-syphilis

-gonorrhea

Minor STDs, which are:

-vaginal herpes

-venerian vegetations

-scab

-some forms of viral hepatitis

During the last decade, HIV infection, the most dangerous infection, as well as syphilis have caused unmatchable epidemics. In the genital area, symptoms are manifested by unusual secretions, pains in the pelvic area, burning feelings, pruritus, irritation feeling, pain while having sex or while urinating. The presence of these symptoms is not compulsory and some of them may even disappear, even if the infection persists inside the body until treating or until it becomes chronic.

The first step in treating STDs is medical examination and a correct diagnostic. Empiric treatment is not recommended, as well as treatment according to non authorized sources, as they may not be correct.

First you can be seen by your family doctor, who will ask a specialist to examine you, you need tests and corresponding treatment. The treatment must be follow during the entire period recommended even if symptoms may disappear. Sexual relationships can start again in 3 days since interrupting the treatment, according to the specialist doctor's recommendations.

The risk to be infected with these diseases is higher in the case of sexual contact with more partners, when the condom is not used as means of protection or when intravenous injecting drugs are used, when the partner is drugged or has on his or her turn more sexual partners.

STDs can affect men and women as well, irrespective of their age. They can be contacted even if there are no symptoms. Actually symptoms may lack in the case of women. Besides their evolution is more dangerous in the case of women because it can provoke inflammatory pelvic disease which can sometimes lead to infertility.

Keep It A Secret! Some of the Few Advantages of Visiting A Private STD Clinic


Nothing leaves an uglier or more disturbing stigma on someone's life than to be infected with a sexually transmitted disease, or STD. As it often goes, most people are unaware of having been infected with an STD, so that in their ignorance, they pose a threat of unknowingly infecting their sex partners. Knowing if you're infected with an STD is hard, mostly because symptoms of an STD infection can mimic other curable diseases, and thus go by unnoticed or ignored. Some symptoms manifest itself in the form of rashes, blisters, or even a simple itch, which might then be thought of as a mere skin condition. Other symptoms like fatigue, abdominal pain, or nausea can be misdiagnosed. Most of the time, this series of detection and misdiagnosis result in ineffective or erroneous treatments, which serve nothing more than to keep the disease uncured. For those people with more evident symptoms, the reluctance to seek medical help may stem from shyness or shame. They fear that since an STD is transmitted via sexual intercourse, they will be socially ostracized or laughed at by others.

Many people go by with undetected symptoms of STD, and some who know that they are infected go by untreated. Ignorance, shame, or fear prevents these people from receiving the best medical attention that they deserve, and it is a painful fact, knowing that if these diseases are let be, they will become more rampant, affecting more people. If left untreated, STD's can also develop into more serious medical conditions, often with fatal results.

Gender wise, women have an advantage over men in that they are given more opportunities for any private std test. This test, done discreetly, is performed as they go for their annual pap smears, or during pre-natal monthly check-ups. In the case with men however, they are very shy with having to go to a clinic to get tested for STD infections and have people look at them funny with raised eyebrows. This kind of common incident leaves little to no room for comfort, and lessens a person's self-esteem. One of the best options a person can take is to go to a reputable STD specialized clinic and undergo private STD testing.

Hospitals and other medical organizations are required by law to submit medical results, and all these results belong to the public domain, so a person who is particular about keeping his medical history a secret will hesitate to receive diagnosis or treatment in these facilities. Luckily, private STD testing offers a brilliant solution to privacy issues!

Just like a typical hospital, STD centers which offer private STD testing gives one all the necessary tests to detect infection. Details such as medical history, blood, urine, saliva, and other bodily fluids will be required, however, all of the results that will arise from the testing, whether positive or not, will be kept highly confidential. The person's name, gender, age, and other relevant information will not be revealed, and instead, they will be given an identification code. Only the healthcare practitioner and any subsequent attendants are privy to the person's medical information. All of the results will be sent to the person concerned via email, or by phone. All of these will be done in private, with the strictest conditions of ensuring the anonymity and security of the person involved.

Private STD Testing --- Know more about it. It will be highly valuable, if ever the need will arise in the future.

STDs For Beginners


OK, you know you've got something; it started off with an annoying little itch here, a faint little rash there, and sometimes things just don't look quite right, you know, down there. It can be a very worrying time wondering if it's serious, if it's curable or, if indeed it's anything to be concerned about at all. But there are two things for certain; an STD test can give you the answers you need and, ignoring an STD definitely won't make it go away. Don't bother testing the theory, the pages of history are packed to the brim with people who, whether knowingly or unknowingly, have turned a blind eye to their weird and worrying symptoms and either lived to regret it, or died, to presumably even deeper regret.

There's a lot of myth and misconception out there about sexually transmitted diseases but, in these modern times with STD testing so readily available, there's no longer any need to hide behind dark glasses and an oversized trench coat as you sidle in to a doctors' surgery three bus rides across town. If you ARE unfortunate enough to be the unlucky recipient of an STD, remember, you're not alone. (well... obviously there's at least ONE other person you know that has it too) Nowadays many STD's can be easily treated as long as they are detected by an early STD test and, although the subject is still somewhat taboo as a dinner party conversation, being vaguely aware of some of the symptoms (or non-symptoms) of these 'big three' could save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

Syphilis

This is a tough one because it is notoriously hard to diagnose from symptoms alone and, in fact, often shows no symptoms. A disease in three stages, if left undiagnosed and allowed to develop, Syphilis can ultimately become fatal so early STD testing is a must if any of these stage one symptoms are present. Small, painless sores around the genital region; a non-itchy rash on the soles of feet or hands; swollen glands; unexplained weight loss and fatigue; sore throat, muscle aches and headaches. Once these symptoms (if present) disappear, in most cases the disease is virtually undetectable in its latent stage without an STD test.

Gonorrhea

In most cases Gonorrhea is very easily detected through an STD test and treatment can be as simple as a course of antibiotics. However, as with other STD's if left to its own devices the disease can cause irreparable damage to the blood or joints, and chronic pelvic problems. Symptoms, although not as elusive as Syphilis, can be a little ambiguous but include yellow or bloody discharge; abdominal pain; and a burning sensation during urination.

Herpes

The butt of many a teenage joke, Herpes is no laughing matter. Because its symptoms can be virtually non existent, if you are sexually active you should have a regular STD test whether you experience any of the following symptoms or not; sores on the genital area; tingling or itching of infected area; a flu-like fever. Although unfortunately Herpes is incurable, if detected via STD testing the outbreaks can be managed and the discomfort for the sufferer can be minimal.

The Dreaded STD Diseases


Sexually Transmitted Diseases, also known as sexually transmitted infection or venereal disease is an illness that is transmitted between humans or animals by means of sexual behaviours, which includes vaginal intercourse, oral sex and anal sex. A person may be infected and has risks of potentially infecting others without showing signs or symptoms of the disease. Some STDs can be transmitted via the use of IV drug needles, as well as childbirth and breastfeeding. Sexually transmitted diseases have been notorious for hundreds of years.

The rise of STD Diseases are becoming very prevalent in the country and the world over that it has come to the point where it is now quite alarming. The most prevalent among these diseases is Chlamydia. It is an STD that is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is a disease that is known to not show symptoms until it has progressed to a certain point which makes it difficult to detect and treat. If it does show symptoms, the common signs are increase in vaginal discharge for women, a watery discharge from the male genitalia in men, pain during urination, and discomfort during intercourse.

Another well known STD is Gonorrhoea. It is caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoea bacterium, and like all other STD Diseases, it is passed on via sexual contact. Signs for males are the presence of a white or yellowy discharge coming from the male sex organ, discharge from the anus, and inflammation of the testicles and prostate gland. For the females, change from the normal vaginal discharge as well as discharge and irritation from the anus is seen as well.

As you can see, symptoms are vague and not isolated to one STD. By comparing only two STDs, you can see for yourself that by basing on symptoms alone, one cannot really determine the cause of their symptoms. There are still other STDs that have similar and even the same symptoms which makes it even harder. And unfortunately, the treatment for each is different, no matter how similar their symptoms are.

Prevention is the key in addressing incurable sexually transmitted diseases and infections such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. The most effective way of preventing sexual transmission of STDs is to avoid contact of body parts or fluids which can lead to transfer with an infected partner. No sexual contact minimizes the risk of getting infected. Also, the proper use of condoms reduces contact and risk. However, if prevention will not work or sexual contact cannot be totally removed, then the next best option would be early diagnosis. Visiting STD clinics and getting routine and regular check-ups will save your life, literally, when it comes to these illnesses. They have laboratory and diagnostic tests that they can use in order for them to detect the presence of an STD, know which one it is, and determine what kind of treatment method will be the most effective.That is why going to an STD clinic will be your best bet to avoid getting contaminated by any of these dreadful diseases.

First Signs of an STD


Sexually transmitted disease or STD is becoming a major concern for those who enjoy sex quite often with multiple partners. Obviously, no one would like to have an STD but if you want to be saved from the ill effects of an STD you should be aware of its initial symptoms. A timely precaution can cure this disease.

The first and the foremost precaution would be to stop engaging in any sexual activity from the point one detects the first symptom of an STD.

Few of the well known symptoms of an STD are unusual discharge from the vagina and urethra, irresistible burning sensation around the genital region, and experiencing excruciating pain during sexual intercourse or during urination. Other symptoms include inflammation near the genital region. This could be in the form of sores in clusters. This inflammation could become a cause of concern if it has pus and is painful. A person who has an STD generally has awful odor from the body excretions.

Genital warts, swelling around the genital region are the other signs of an STD. The initial symptoms further leads to rise in body temperature, headache, giddiness and nausea. Women who contract STD generally experience pain in the lower abdomen, irregular menstruation, frequent urination, sudden change in the skin color, emergence of bruises and loss of hair in various parts of the hair.

After understanding the early signs of STD, one must get checked by an appropriate doctor for the confirmation of infections, because sometimes the actual symptoms may occur after a week or ten days of contracting the infection. Doctor would recommend having certain tests to verify that the person is infected or not. Once confirmed, the first thing that a person should remember is to cease any sexual activity, since it may aggravate the problem or transmit the infection to the partner.

Why You Need STD Testing


There are many reasons you might decide to test yourself for STDs and visit an STD testing lab. For instance if you have been with your partner for a while and you have both decided that you would like to start having intercourse without using condoms, then you might choose to get STD testing to make sure you are both healthy before you do in order to protect your partner. Another scenario meanwhile may be simply that you have recently had unprotected intercourse with a sexual partner and been concerned about whether or not you may have caught something, or it might be that you have been noticing certain symptoms such as itchiness, problems with urination, or discharge and thus are concerned that these might be the signs of an STD.

In any of these cases it is crucial to go to an STD testing lab for STD testing, and there are many potential risks if you choose not to. You might not notice any symptoms now, but it is important to bear in mind that some symptoms can go unnoticed and in other cases symptoms may not arise until several months - or even years - after the infection has taken place. This may be the case for instance with syphilis which is a very serious condition that can result in severe symptoms and be life threatening - but which is not obvious until a long time afterward.

If you ignore any concerns you might have rather than getting STD testing then your STD will set in further before you identify it and this will make it more difficult to treat. More seriously however if you have any subsequent sexual partners then you can end up passing the infection on to them and this is a highly irresponsible behavior that can cause them to suffer from illnesses. If you are hoping to have a relationship with that person, then giving them an STD and even a minor one, is not a great way to go about impressing them and making the best first impressions. If you tell them on the other hand that you are struggling with an STD, then this could well mean that they don't want to sleep with you and so it is far preferable to get this sorted much more quickly. It's also worth bearing in mind that upon hearing back from an STD testing lab, it is normal to call around any partners you have had previously and this is highly embarrassing - the sooner you get this checked, the fewer people you will have to have that awkward conversation with.

Living with the symptoms of an STD can be highly distressing and uncomfortable, even if the symptoms are only itching and discomfort this is something you should aim to treat as early as possible so that you can enjoy your daily activities. Of course prevention is better than cure, and once you know that you have a clean bill of health, you can make sure to be as careful as possible in order to avoid having the stress again.




If you have doubts and you intend to have future sexual partners then STD testing is highly important. It's also crucial if you have any concerns about your own health. Follow the links for an STD testing lab.

5 Reasons You Should Visit an STD Testing Center


Are you having sex? Well, good for you! But are you being safe and responsible about it? Hopefully you are. But, if you are not, you should know, you may be at risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). And in case you didn't realize it, STD's can lead to some major health issues. Here are five more reasons you might want to visit your local std testing center for screening.

No symptoms doesn't mean you are STD free

So, say you are sexually active. You may have been a little careless, but you've shown no symptoms of having an infection. You feel fine! Well, don't be fooled.

Almost all STD's can be asymptomatic (showing no symptoms). Just as an example, some women can carry a Chlamydia infection for years, and only discover they have it through routine screening during pregnancy. Chlamydia can have several adverse effects on a pregnancy including low birth weight and premature delivery.

You may be the only monogamous partner in your relationship

It's a fact of life. Men and women both cheat. You can control your actions, but not the actions of your partner. And since you can control only your own actions, you can do the responsible thing and be tested.

And all you married people beware. Being married doesn't mean you are exempt from testing. You may think you "know" your partner, but statistics of married folks show that around 70% women and 54% of men had no idea of their spouses' extramarital activity. Why take the chance?

Weird symptoms

Bumps, lesions, or rashes down there might mean you have a problem. Other things to look out for are discharge from the penis or vagina, and pelvic pain. This is not a conclusive list. Each STD has its own unique symptoms to watch out for. Perform your due diligence and brush up on symptoms of herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and HPV.

If you do experience any of these symptoms, get yourself to an std testing center to be screened. When caught early, the damage to your body can be minimal.

Condom failure

Whether you failed to use a condom, or the condom actually failed (broke), you could be at risk for contracting an STD.

Did you know even if you use a condom, it still may not prevent an infection every single time. Some people may use them incorrectly, or use the wrong kind (latex is best for std prevention). Others may be using expired condoms (yes, condoms have an expiration date).

Starting a new intimate relationship

If you are in a budding new romance and are thinking of taking that next step, wouldn't it be nice to take it with a clean slate? What could be worse than to finally have sex with that special someone only to discover you have unknowingly passed on an STD to him/her? What a relationship killer!

And while you are at it, you should probably insist that your potential sexual partner be tested as well. You could make a date of it. You and your partner could make a date to visit your local std testing center together!
