Antibiotics for the Most Common STDs - Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomonas


Sexual activity is starting at a younger age today and many experiment without thinking about the repercussions. They may not be aware or educated about the many problems that can arise with sexually activity. This always leaves a concern of STD's due to unsafe safe practices.

Do you think that you're suffering from an STD? Find out more about the signs, symptoms and treatment of common STD's below.

There are several common Sexually Transmitted Diseases or the newer term Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) that are seen more often that others in the United States today. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomonas (Trich) are the most prevalent STD's in the U.S. With appropriate antibiotic treatment these infections are curable.

The person may present with no symptoms, or have some overlapping of symptoms. Common symptoms include increased vaginal or penis discharge, painful urination and irritation or itching. There is a hallmark symptom that may help distinguish Trichomonas from Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. Malodorous frothy better described as bubbly, yellow, green discharge is characteristic of trich.

These sexually transmitted infections may be diagnosed clinically, but usually lab testing is done in order to verify the results. Testing is recommended for those who have had sexually activity, specifically risky behaviors such as: no protection or multiple partners. Common testing for STD's includes a NAAT test, gram stain or urine test.

There are many different routes that may be chosen when treating a STD. Many different antibiotic options are available when trying to cure the infection. Antibiotics therapy is based on cost effectiveness and severity of symptoms. A few of the antibiotics below are options for the treatment of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Two (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea) of these three infections can be treated with about the same class of antibiotics. Antibiotics effective against these two bacterial infections include a third generation Quinolone which is somewhat expensive. The Tetracycline family or a first generation Macrolide is a cheaper yet effective antibiotic route to treat Chlamydia if cost of antibiotic therapy is a concern. A second generation Quinolone is a cost - effective option for Gonorrhea but efficacy must be considered.

It is thought that if you have Chlamydia or Gonorrhea that empiric treatment for both is usually indicated because co-infection is common.

Trichomonas (Trich) is an anaerobe protozoan infection and therefore is treated with a miscellaneous categorized antibiotic. Flagyl is first line treatment for trich and is also offered at a reasonable price.

If you are pregnant or less than 18 years of age a different antibiotic may be indicated due to contraindications. Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics are not used during pregnancy or if less than eighteen years old.

Partner treatment is highly recommended and Abstinence must be practiced until antibiotic therapy is completed. These common STDs can be cured when the right antibiotic is taken as specified. No follow - up is usually indicated unless symptoms persist. If symptoms do persist contact your provider for further evaluation and possible treatment regimens. If left uncured further complications may occur such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

To help prevent the spread of STD's there has been a push in the area of education and abstinence pertaining to combat sexually transmitted infections. Safe sex practices for those who chose to become active are also being emphasized. Condoms and monogamy are key areas of emphasis to prevent acquiring or transmission of these sexually transmitted diseases.

Visit with your medical provider for evaluation if you have any of the above mentioned risky sexual behaviors or signs and symptoms of an STD. Your provider may want to do testing for possible STD's and start treatment if indicated.

Most Common STDs


A Sexually Transmitted Disease, also known as an "STD", is an infection that is transmitted between two or more individuals usually during a sexual act or some other exchange of bodily fluids. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") that more than 50% of all people will contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease in their lifetime.

Once called venereal diseases, STDs are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today. It is the sharing of blood or other bodily fluids that allows the infection to be transmitted from one person to another. More than 20 STDs have now been identified including the following most commonly transmitted diseases:

HIV / AIDS - HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a viral infection that can eventually lead to AIDS (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Once a person has been infected with HIV, this virus attacks the body's immune system, killing the CD4 Cells (also known as the T-helper cells) which normally help to fight invading organisms and disease. When an infected person's immune system is effectively destroyed by HIV, he or she develops AIDS.

Syphilis - Syphilis is a Sexually Transmitted Disease that is caused by the bacterium known as Treponema pallidum, that progresses in stages. The first symptom (or stage) of Syphilis, is a painless open sore(s) (or "chancre"). This sore, which contains purulent (or "pus" like) material or discharge, is usually found around or in the vagina (or in the male, on the penis). It can, however, also be found on or in the mouth, the anus (butt hole), or on the hands.

Gonorrhea - Gonorrhea (aka "the Clap") is a Sexually Transmitted Disease caused by the bacterium known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is transmitted through vaginal, penile, anal and oral sexual contact, with or without ejaculation. According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 700,000 persons in the U.S. are infected with new gonorrhea infections each year (reported and unreported cases). Symptoms of Gonorrhea in men may include: burning upon urination and/or, a white, yellow or greenish color discharge from the penis. Women who are infected with Gonorrhea may experience pain or burning upon urination and/or a vaginal discharge. Some infected women may not have any symptoms. Oftentimes, burning with urination or a vaginal discharge can be confused with other diseases.

Chlamydia - Chlamydia occurs in both men and women and is caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis. Although most of the symptoms of Chlamydia are mild, and may go unnoticed, an abnormal genital discharge and/or burning during urination may be an indication of the disease. In any event, these symptoms should be a cause for concern, and if they are present, you should schedule an appointment to see your doctor or other health professional for identification of the cause of the infection.

Hepatitis B - Hepatitis B is a viral disease that attacks the liver, and, according to health experts, is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV. The CDC has reported that approximately 30% of people infected with HBV have no symptoms. Hepatitis B can be transmitted to others, especially through sexual or drug-related behavior. It is spread through contact with the infected person's blood and other bodily fluids including: semen; vaginal secretions; blood; discharge from open sores ("pus") of the infected person.

Genital Herpes - Genital Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted viral diseases in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 45 million people in the United States (ages 12 and older) have been infected the disease, and as many as 1,000,000 people become infected with Genital Herpes each year. Symptoms of Genital Herpes can include painful blisters or open sores in the genital area. The symptoms of the recurrent painful ulcers, can be treated, but the Genital Herpes infection cannot be cured. Many people with Genital Herpes have no symptoms. This is unfortunate, since the virus can be transmitted unknowingly to others through sexual contact.

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and Genital Warts - HPV is not a single virus, but a group of different viruses, many of which can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, the outside area of the vagina, or anus ("butt hole"). Over 100 different strains of the HPV virus have been identified, more than 30 of which can be sexually transmitted, some of which cause genital warts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are about 1 million new cases of genital warts in men and women each year in the United States. A person can be infected with one of the forms of Genital HPV through vaginal, penile, anal or oral sexual contact, with or without ejaculation. HPV infections have been identified by the CDC as one of the most commonly transmitted sexual diseases. HPV can also affect the inside linings of the vagina, cervix or rectum.

Trichomoniasis (or Trichomonas) - Trichomoniasis, also known as Trichomonas, is caused by a microscopic parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. A parasite is an organism that lives either inside or on the outside of the human body (aka its "host"). And, it depends on the host for its survival. Trichomoniasis can affect either men or women, although symptoms of the disease are more common in women. Most men with Trichomoniasis have no symptoms at all, or may confuse the symptoms that are present with another disease. If symptoms exist in a male, they may include: a slight irritation inside the penis; painful urination, and/or mild discharge from the penis In a female, symptoms of Trichomoniasis may include: a yellowish-green frothy vaginal discharge that has a strong foul odor; burning upon urination; and/or pain or irritation in the vaginal area.

Some Sexually Transmitted Diseases, such as the HIV and Syphilis infections, can also be spread by non-sexual contact with bodily fluids. Such infections would include transmission to an unborn child through the mother during pregnancy and delivery, or infections spread from person to person through intravenous drug use (including tattooing or ear piercing procedures) with an unclean ("dirty") needle.

Bacterial infections and those STDs caused by parasites can be effectively treated with medication and cured.

Symptoms of STDs which are caused by viral infections (such as HIV, Genital Herpes or Hepatitis) are treatable, but the disease itself cannot be cured.

Common Symptoms of STDs in Women


Sexually transmitted diseases are a reality in today's society and understanding how to avoid exposure to them and detecting their symptoms can help you live a healthier life. Many of the most common STD's can be transferred between partners with a single sexual encounter and may take months to develop symptoms. This makes detection especially difficult and increases the changes of passing these STD's along to other partners. Even though there may be particular symptoms that are more prevalent in certain types of STD's, there are 3 common symptoms of STD's for women that are present in many of them. If you experience any of these symptoms you should schedule a visit with your doctor to see if you require treatment.

The most common symptom that accompanies many of the STD's is pain in the lower abdomen or groin area. This pain may only appear for short periods of time but can be quite severe when it does occur. In women this type of pain can also extend to the vaginal canal and may occur during sex for certain STD's. For other forms of disease like genital herpes the pain may be more localized and accompany the outbreak of lesions. This pain may also happen during urination and may also involve a burning sensation that becomes worse over time if treatment is not started.

Another common symptom of STD's for women is an unfamiliar vaginal discharge. In some cases this may appear as a cloudy liquid that happens during, or immediately following sexual intercourse. With a severe infection this discharge may also contain blood, which may also indicate internal abrasions or infections. These can be serious and need to be addressed immediately to prevent the spread of the disease.

Many of the STD's that produce these types of discharges may also cause a burning or itching sensation at the site of the discharge. This can vary widely between patients and is related to which STD you have contracted and how advanced the symptoms are. In women, this discharge may also be accompanied by a strong vaginal odor, which should be very apparent.

The third more obvious symptom is any type of skin irritation or growth in the groin area. Some STD's will produce visible bumps or skin lesions to indicate that the underlying virus is present. In the case of genital warts symptoms in women, these bumps will occur at the site of the initial sexual contact. Even though the size and location of these can vary, any unusual bumps you notice should be a cause for concern and trigger a checkup with your doctor.

In some STD's this skin irritation will be minor and may go unnoticed for some time. In others it will be more pronounced and may also include itching, burning or bleeding depending on its location and the size of the affected area. These areas may also be sore to the touch and can be painful during sexual contact.

The Most Common STD


Sexually transmitted diseases are not as unusual as people may think. Statistics show that about 50 million people all over the world acquire sexually transmitted diseases in just a single year. With that kind of number, one would be inclined to ask what the most common STD is. Let this article give you the answers to that question, and include some details on them as well.

The first and the most common STD is called Chlamydia. However, it is one that has a cure, and has had a very high cure rate all over the world. It infects the insides of the genital area, such as the cervix in women, and the urethra in men. The main reason by which Chlamydia has qualified to be the most common STD is because the symptoms that tells a person that he or she has Chlamydia do not appear for at least a few days, to usually up until several months after acquiring the disease. So the best thing to do with this is if there is any possibility or if there is any suspicion that one has made contact with someone who has that sexually transmitted disease, is to get checked by a healthcare professional in order to ensure the absence of this common STD. Condoms are anyone's best protection against STD, but then again, this would only protect a person in some sexual activities.

Another common STD on the list is gonorrhea, which was given the nickname "clap." The symptoms experienced in this STD caused by a specific strain of bacteria, is very similar to those seen with Chlamydia. Even the effects experienced by people who have had this STD for a lengthy period of time are similar to those with Chlamydia. The organs that are involved in the infection are also the same. The main symptoms that a person who has gonorrhea might experience would be excruciating pain similar to a burning sensation while urinating, and pus discharges for men, and unusual discharges from the vagina in women. One other extra thing that may distinguish gonorrhea from Chlamydia is that one can also get infected by way of one's throat through oral sex.

Syphilis is another common STD that may be difficult to manage. A person may acquire syphilis if he or she was able to come in direct contact with a sore, thus sexual activities are sure- fire ways to get this common STD. Sores will appear where the germs have come into contact with a newly infected person, such as the genital area and even the mouth area. Syphilis must be treated immediately in order to avoid further complications. Treatment of this disease and the absence of visible sores are not determinants that it has already been cured. In fact, there is a very high probability that the bacteria are still inside the body and spreading throughout. During the last stages of syphilis, though, the infected person may no longer be contagious. However, care must be taken by a woman carrying a child inside her womb, as the disease will be passed on to the unborn child.

In order to be extremely sure that you have not acquired any of these common STDs, you may want to contact your healthcare provider immediately, especially if you are sexually active.




15 million people contract STD's every single year. Are you one of the 1 in 4 people walking around with an STD and you don't even know it?

The Common STDs of Today


As the common articles you would find about STDs, it talks about how it is common in the society and how it can infect us anytime, stories of its possible complications and possibility to cause medical conditions if left untreated, but less do we read about what specific kinds of STD is really out there to hunt us, what STD is found most common lurking in the society. Here in this article you will read all about these common STDs in the society, so that you will be aware and you can equip yourselves against it.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a STD, but with several debates on whether it should be considered one or not. Bacterial Vaginosis is not transmittable through sexual intercourse but sexual activity can exacerbate the manifestation of this infection and it is found to be more common in sexually active women. The imbalance of the normal healthy bacteria in the vagina is the cause of this infection, though it is significantly harmless, it can cause an unpleasant smell in the genitals and discharges that has a fishy smell.

The cause of the bacterial imbalance that causes Bacterial Vaginosis is not yet established, but medical suggestions would implicate that the male partner's semen is the one that could have possibly caused it. The semen of the male partner could have dislodged the acidic nature of the vaginal bacteria thus causing the imbalance. In favor to men, BV cannot be transmitted to a man. But nonetheless BV must not be taking for granted as the infection may crawl up to the uterus and fallopian tubes and can cause serious medical conditions. BV is treatable, its treatment is quite simple, and treating BV is only through the application of cream to the vagina or the intake of antibiotics.

Chlamydia is the next big thing in STDs that everyone has heard of. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that is found most common; it is caused by trachomatis bacterium. The urethra and the rectum in both sexes, and the cervix for women can be affected by the Chlamydia infection. Infertility can be the worst case scenario for untreated Chlamydial infection.

Though a lot of the sexually transmitted disease that are listed are curable due to medical advancements, and some that are not are made manageable, but there are still some that we can do nothing about at all. These STD is AIDS, though treatments are available to slow down the progression of the disease, still eventually, the person infected will die.

Those were just bits of the many things you should let yourself know of to be ready and equipped against these diseases.

Common STDs- there are a lot of STDs out there, but a bigger chance is left for you to get infected with the common STDs, so gather up all information you need and be ready.

6 Common Questions About STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)


How Many Types of STDs Exist?

There more than 25 different types of STDs that exist, with each one showing distinct signs and symptoms. Some even show no signs at all. The most common STDs are: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital Herpes, Human Papillomavirus, Hepatitis B, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis.

What Are the Symptoms of an STD?

STDs may start with an itch, blistering, redness, soreness around the area of the genitals, a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate at a moments notice, a white, yellow, or green discharge from either the penis or the vagina, a strong smell coming from the genital area even after washing, sore throats, mouth blisters, chills or fevers, swellings, continual headaches, or continuous aches and pains, etc.

What Should I Do if I Have Symptoms of a STD?

If you have had sex with someone who you think may have a STD, or you have STD symptoms yourself, then it is advisable to get checked out at a STD clinic as soon a possible.

Can STDs Be Caught from Same Sex Partners?

Yes! STDs can be caught from a partner of the same-sex. "Having Sex" means where there is an exchange of body fluids between two people. This includes, giving or receiving oral or anal sex with either a man or woman, and vaginal sex with a woman. No erection is necessary to catch a STD, as most are highly contagious.

What Precautions Can I Take so as Not to Catch an STD?

1. Always use either a male or female condom if you think that your partner may be at risk of having caught a STD. Never use cheap condoms as they are usually prone to either break or burst.

2. Always use a condom with new partners, or partners that are sexually active with other people.

3. Avoid having sex with high risk partners or prostitutes.

4. Do not inject yourself with drugs, or share needles and syringes.

5. Avoid getting drunk or taking drugs, as you are more likely to take chances with sex.

Are There Any Long Term Effects from Catching STDs?

Catching a STD can result in long-term health problems for both the man and the woman alike. If a STD is either not treated soon after it is caught, or even not treated at all, then there may be a future risk of suffering some degree of problem with childbirth.

The Most Common STD Symptoms


We all have been there in our life. We believe that we are ten feet tall and bullet proof. This is proven every time that we go out to the bar, we sit there have a few drinks and hours later are on the arms of a lovely lady. We wake up the next morning go home and go about our day. Then one of two things happen, we either get the phone call from this woman telling us we need to get checked. We get a rash or a number of other symptoms that make us think we have an STD. This makes our hookup that we had a lot more of a problem than we first thought. But how do we know without testing if we have an STD? This article is designed to give you a heads up as to whether or not you and your doctor need to have a chat. Many STD's share a common set of basic symptoms. Let's look at some of these STD symptoms in particular.

Rash, Itching, Burning

This is an extremely common occurrence among STD symptoms. The rash is usually centered around the genitals and is often accompanied by a burning itch which is unstretchable as it id under the surface of the skin. Most of the time this is a precursor to an outbreak of welts, sores or blisters.

Burning or Difficulty During Urination

Burning and difficulty in urination are both common STD symptoms. This comes from the inflammation of the urethral lining which is prevalent with most viral STD infections. This is among the STD symptoms which are indicative from most sufferers of an STD infection. The problem is that this is not only on the list of STD symptoms but is also common with many other infections especially infections of the bladder and infections of the prostate in men.

Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra

This is among the most noticeable of the common STD symptoms, and aside from burning or difficulty in urination this is usually the first of the STD symptoms to be reported by the infected person. As with burning or difficulty in urination, it should be noted that not all instances of Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra are indicative of STD symptoms. Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra is also a common symptom of other uro-genital infections and conditions that are not sexually transmitted disease related.

Swelling or Tenderness of the Genitals

When it comes to common STD symptoms this is perhaps the hardest one to notice. In men it is not uncommon for there to be swelling or tenderness in the penis and testicles for a wide variety of reasons, in women the genitals are not as easily indicative of swelling or tenderness. If you suspect that you may have been infected with a sexually transmitted disease based upon swelling or tenderness of the genitals, look for other common STD symptoms in conjunction with this.

Most Common STD Symptoms to Get STD Tested


Does it burn, itch, or maybe there's some weird looking discharge down there? It's a possibility you have symptoms most commonly appearing from engaging in sexual intercourse with a partner that was not clean. One of the most common forms of STDs that you can get is genital herpes. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). When you get genital herpes, the most common type is the latter, HSV-2.

If you answered yes to the opening question, you may have symptoms indicating a herpes outbreak. The most typical sign being blisters around the genital area and/or rectum. Should you experience pain and/or tenderness in those areas, most likely, the blisters broke open, revealing ulcers or sores. You can probably expect the initial outbreak to heal within three to four weeks.

Once I have an initial outbreak, will I have another one in the future?

Good question and yes you may have another outbreak weeks or sometimes even months after the initial outbreak, which is much less severe than the first time. The actual virus that causes herpes can stay in your body indefinitely, though rest assured, your outbreaks probably will appear less often and less intense over time.

How do I tell if it's really herpes or not?

It's good that you are inquisitive and care about your health enough to ask that question. The signs and symptoms of the HSV-2 herpes virus can vary greatly from person to person. If you want to visit a doctor, they can usually do a visual inspection to determine whether you do in fact have the virus or not. After your doctor determines they feel you may have herpes, they can take a sample from the infected area and send it in to a laboratory.

What if I think I had herpes in the past and now I'm not so sure?

Ah, interesting point and one other people probably ask most commonly. Should you feel that you may have contracted herpes in the past and want to be 100% sure, you can have a blood test done to give you peace of mind.

What are other common STDs for which I may want to get tested?

Other tests you may want to consider to make sure you really are in top health are Chlamydia, HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Gonorrhea, Oral Herpes (HSV-1), and Hepatitis C.

Now, if you're like some other people, you may not want to visit your on campus doctor if you go to college, your military sick call if you're in the military, or your family doctor, know that you have other options available to you to get std tested.




To get std tested discretely call toll free 877-645-1401 if you do not want to go to your doctor.

What Are the Common STD Tests?


A sexual health clinic will usually recommend testing for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis. They will then recommend other tests and vaccinations according to what your risk is.

Chlamydia in women is an infection of the neck of the womb which is sexually transmitted. It usually exhibits no symptoms but causes scarring to the reproductive organs which cases difficulties in becoming pregnant and can cause infertility. Chlamydia isn't limited to the womb. Chlamydia conjunctivitis is a condition of the eye which was once an important cause of blindness. If a mother gives birth to her child whilst infected with Chlamydia, the child will also have the disease. Chlamydia is a curable condition and can be treated with a course of antibiotics.

Gonorrhoea in men, usually causes burning during urination. Like Chlamydia though, it usually exhibits no symptoms in women. It is important to treat Gonorrhoea quickly before it causes serious health problems - it can be treated by a dose of antibiotics

Syphilis symptoms are usually displayed by a sore on the skin that was exposed to the infection. This doesn't hurt and goes away in about a month, however the syphilis hasn't gone away and the bacteria continues to spread around the body and symptoms of this secondary phase are rashes and sores. Syphilis can be treated with a dose of penicillin.

HIV orHuman immunodeficiency virus is a virus which causes AIDs. Symptoms of HIV include weight loss, a cough, fever, fatigue and red blotches on the skin. HIV can be effectively treated but it can't be cured. If you have been exposed to the HIV virus, you should attend a sexual health clinic as soon as possible. Treatment by Post-exposure prophylaxis after exposure may prevent you becoming HIV positive as long as you start the treatment within 72 hours.

Common Symptoms of STDs in Women


Sexually transmitted diseases are a reality in today's society and understanding how to avoid exposure to them and detecting their symptoms can help you live a healthier life. Many of the most common STD's can be transferred between partners with a single sexual encounter and may take months to develop symptoms. This makes detection especially difficult and increases the changes of passing these STD's along to other partners. Even though there may be particular symptoms that are more prevalent in certain types of STD's, there are 3 common symptoms of STD's for women that are present in many of them. If you experience any of these symptoms you should schedule a visit with your doctor to see if you require treatment.

The most common symptom that accompanies many of the STD's is pain in the lower abdomen or groin area. This pain may only appear for short periods of time but can be quite severe when it does occur. In women this type of pain can also extend to the vaginal canal and may occur during sex for certain STD's. For other forms of disease like genital herpes the pain may be more localized and accompany the outbreak of lesions. This pain may also happen during urination and may also involve a burning sensation that becomes worse over time if treatment is not started.

Another common symptom of STD's for women is an unfamiliar vaginal discharge. In some cases this may appear as a cloudy liquid that happens during, or immediately following sexual intercourse. With a severe infection this discharge may also contain blood, which may also indicate internal abrasions or infections. These can be serious and need to be addressed immediately to prevent the spread of the disease.

Many of the STD's that produce these types of discharges may also cause a burning or itching sensation at the site of the discharge. This can vary widely between patients and is related to which STD you have contracted and how advanced the symptoms are. In women, this discharge may also be accompanied by a strong vaginal odor, which should be very apparent.

The third more obvious symptom is any type of skin irritation or growth in the groin area. Some STD's will produce visible bumps or skin lesions to indicate that the underlying virus is present. In the case of genital warts symptoms in women, these bumps will occur at the site of the initial sexual contact. Even though the size and location of these can vary, any unusual bumps you notice should be a cause for concern and trigger a checkup with your doctor.

In some STD's this skin irritation will be minor and may go unnoticed for some time. In others it will be more pronounced and may also include itching, burning or bleeding depending on its location and the size of the affected area. These areas may also be sore to the touch and can be painful during sexual contact.

Antibiotics for the Most Common STDs - Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomonas


Sexual activity is starting at a younger age today and many experiment without thinking about the repercussions. They may not be aware or educated about the many problems that can arise with sexually activity. This always leaves a concern of STD's due to unsafe safe practices.

Do you think that you're suffering from an STD? Find out more about the signs, symptoms and treatment of common STD's below.

There are several common Sexually Transmitted Diseases or the newer term Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) that are seen more often that others in the United States today. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomonas (Trich) are the most prevalent STD's in the U.S. With appropriate antibiotic treatment these infections are curable.

The person may present with no symptoms, or have some overlapping of symptoms. Common symptoms include increased vaginal or penis discharge, painful urination and irritation or itching. There is a hallmark symptom that may help distinguish Trichomonas from Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. Malodorous frothy better described as bubbly, yellow, green discharge is characteristic of trich.

These sexually transmitted infections may be diagnosed clinically, but usually lab testing is done in order to verify the results. Testing is recommended for those who have had sexually activity, specifically risky behaviors such as: no protection or multiple partners. Common testing for STD's includes a NAAT test, gram stain or urine test.

There are many different routes that may be chosen when treating a STD. Many different antibiotic options are available when trying to cure the infection. Antibiotics therapy is based on cost effectiveness and severity of symptoms. A few of the antibiotics below are options for the treatment of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Two (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea) of these three infections can be treated with about the same class of antibiotics. Antibiotics effective against these two bacterial infections include a third generation Quinolone which is somewhat expensive. The Tetracycline family or a first generation Macrolide is a cheaper yet effective antibiotic route to treat Chlamydia if cost of antibiotic therapy is a concern. A second generation Quinolone is a cost - effective option for Gonorrhea but efficacy must be considered.

It is thought that if you have Chlamydia or Gonorrhea that empiric treatment for both is usually indicated because co-infection is common.

Trichomonas (Trich) is an anaerobe protozoan infection and therefore is treated with a miscellaneous categorized antibiotic. Flagyl is first line treatment for trich and is also offered at a reasonable price.

If you are pregnant or less than 18 years of age a different antibiotic may be indicated due to contraindications. Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics are not used during pregnancy or if less than eighteen years old.

Partner treatment is highly recommended and Abstinence must be practiced until antibiotic therapy is completed. These common STDs can be cured when the right antibiotic is taken as specified. No follow - up is usually indicated unless symptoms persist. If symptoms do persist contact your provider for further evaluation and possible treatment regimens. If left uncured further complications may occur such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

To help prevent the spread of STD's there has been a push in the area of education and abstinence pertaining to combat sexually transmitted infections. Safe sex practices for those who chose to become active are also being emphasized. Condoms and monogamy are key areas of emphasis to prevent acquiring or transmission of these sexually transmitted diseases.

Visit with your medical provider for evaluation if you have any of the above mentioned risky sexual behaviors or signs and symptoms of an STD. Your provider may want to do testing for possible STD's and start treatment if indicated.

6 Common Questions About STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)


How Many Types of STDs Exist?

There more than 25 different types of STDs that exist, with each one showing distinct signs and symptoms. Some even show no signs at all. The most common STDs are: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital Herpes, Human Papillomavirus, Hepatitis B, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis.

What Are the Symptoms of an STD?

STDs may start with an itch, blistering, redness, soreness around the area of the genitals, a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate at a moments notice, a white, yellow, or green discharge from either the penis or the vagina, a strong smell coming from the genital area even after washing, sore throats, mouth blisters, chills or fevers, swellings, continual headaches, or continuous aches and pains, etc.

What Should I Do if I Have Symptoms of a STD?

If you have had sex with someone who you think may have a STD, or you have STD symptoms yourself, then it is advisable to get checked out at a STD clinic as soon a possible.

Can STDs Be Caught from Same Sex Partners?

Yes! STDs can be caught from a partner of the same-sex. "Having Sex" means where there is an exchange of body fluids between two people. This includes, giving or receiving oral or anal sex with either a man or woman, and vaginal sex with a woman. No erection is necessary to catch a STD, as most are highly contagious.

What Precautions Can I Take so as Not to Catch an STD?

1. Always use either a male or female condom if you think that your partner may be at risk of having caught a STD. Never use cheap condoms as they are usually prone to either break or burst.

2. Always use a condom with new partners, or partners that are sexually active with other people.

3. Avoid having sex with high risk partners or prostitutes.

4. Do not inject yourself with drugs, or share needles and syringes.

5. Avoid getting drunk or taking drugs, as you are more likely to take chances with sex.

Are There Any Long Term Effects from Catching STDs?

Catching a STD can result in long-term health problems for both the man and the woman alike. If a STD is either not treated soon after it is caught, or even not treated at all, then there may be a future risk of suffering some degree of problem with childbirth.

Most Common STDs


A Sexually Transmitted Disease, also known as an "STD", is an infection that is transmitted between two or more individuals usually during a sexual act or some other exchange of bodily fluids. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") that more than 50% of all people will contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease in their lifetime.

Once called venereal diseases, STDs are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today. It is the sharing of blood or other bodily fluids that allows the infection to be transmitted from one person to another. More than 20 STDs have now been identified including the following most commonly transmitted diseases:

HIV / AIDS - HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a viral infection that can eventually lead to AIDS (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Once a person has been infected with HIV, this virus attacks the body's immune system, killing the CD4 Cells (also known as the T-helper cells) which normally help to fight invading organisms and disease. When an infected person's immune system is effectively destroyed by HIV, he or she develops AIDS.

Syphilis - Syphilis is a Sexually Transmitted Disease that is caused by the bacterium known as Treponema pallidum, that progresses in stages. The first symptom (or stage) of Syphilis, is a painless open sore(s) (or "chancre"). This sore, which contains purulent (or "pus" like) material or discharge, is usually found around or in the vagina (or in the male, on the penis). It can, however, also be found on or in the mouth, the anus (butt hole), or on the hands.

Gonorrhea - Gonorrhea (aka "the Clap") is a Sexually Transmitted Disease caused by the bacterium known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is transmitted through vaginal, penile, anal and oral sexual contact, with or without ejaculation. According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 700,000 persons in the U.S. are infected with new gonorrhea infections each year (reported and unreported cases). Symptoms of Gonorrhea in men may include: burning upon urination and/or, a white, yellow or greenish color discharge from the penis. Women who are infected with Gonorrhea may experience pain or burning upon urination and/or a vaginal discharge. Some infected women may not have any symptoms. Oftentimes, burning with urination or a vaginal discharge can be confused with other diseases.

Chlamydia - Chlamydia occurs in both men and women and is caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis. Although most of the symptoms of Chlamydia are mild, and may go unnoticed, an abnormal genital discharge and/or burning during urination may be an indication of the disease. In any event, these symptoms should be a cause for concern, and if they are present, you should schedule an appointment to see your doctor or other health professional for identification of the cause of the infection.

Hepatitis B - Hepatitis B is a viral disease that attacks the liver, and, according to health experts, is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV. The CDC has reported that approximately 30% of people infected with HBV have no symptoms. Hepatitis B can be transmitted to others, especially through sexual or drug-related behavior. It is spread through contact with the infected person's blood and other bodily fluids including: semen; vaginal secretions; blood; discharge from open sores ("pus") of the infected person.

Genital Herpes - Genital Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted viral diseases in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 45 million people in the United States (ages 12 and older) have been infected the disease, and as many as 1,000,000 people become infected with Genital Herpes each year. Symptoms of Genital Herpes can include painful blisters or open sores in the genital area. The symptoms of the recurrent painful ulcers, can be treated, but the Genital Herpes infection cannot be cured. Many people with Genital Herpes have no symptoms. This is unfortunate, since the virus can be transmitted unknowingly to others through sexual contact.

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and Genital Warts - HPV is not a single virus, but a group of different viruses, many of which can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, the outside area of the vagina, or anus ("butt hole"). Over 100 different strains of the HPV virus have been identified, more than 30 of which can be sexually transmitted, some of which cause genital warts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are about 1 million new cases of genital warts in men and women each year in the United States. A person can be infected with one of the forms of Genital HPV through vaginal, penile, anal or oral sexual contact, with or without ejaculation. HPV infections have been identified by the CDC as one of the most commonly transmitted sexual diseases. HPV can also affect the inside linings of the vagina, cervix or rectum.

Trichomoniasis (or Trichomonas) - Trichomoniasis, also known as Trichomonas, is caused by a microscopic parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. A parasite is an organism that lives either inside or on the outside of the human body (aka its "host"). And, it depends on the host for its survival. Trichomoniasis can affect either men or women, although symptoms of the disease are more common in women. Most men with Trichomoniasis have no symptoms at all, or may confuse the symptoms that are present with another disease. If symptoms exist in a male, they may include: a slight irritation inside the penis; painful urination, and/or mild discharge from the penis In a female, symptoms of Trichomoniasis may include: a yellowish-green frothy vaginal discharge that has a strong foul odor; burning upon urination; and/or pain or irritation in the vaginal area.

Some Sexually Transmitted Diseases, such as the HIV and Syphilis infections, can also be spread by non-sexual contact with bodily fluids. Such infections would include transmission to an unborn child through the mother during pregnancy and delivery, or infections spread from person to person through intravenous drug use (including tattooing or ear piercing procedures) with an unclean ("dirty") needle.

Bacterial infections and those STDs caused by parasites can be effectively treated with medication and cured.

Symptoms of STDs which are caused by viral infections (such as HIV, Genital Herpes or Hepatitis) are treatable, but the disease itself cannot be cured.

The Most Common STD


Sexually transmitted diseases are not as unusual as people may think. Statistics show that about 50 million people all over the world acquire sexually transmitted diseases in just a single year. With that kind of number, one would be inclined to ask what the most common STD is. Let this article give you the answers to that question, and include some details on them as well.

The first and the most common STD is called Chlamydia. However, it is one that has a cure, and has had a very high cure rate all over the world. It infects the insides of the genital area, such as the cervix in women, and the urethra in men. The main reason by which Chlamydia has qualified to be the most common STD is because the symptoms that tells a person that he or she has Chlamydia do not appear for at least a few days, to usually up until several months after acquiring the disease. So the best thing to do with this is if there is any possibility or if there is any suspicion that one has made contact with someone who has that sexually transmitted disease, is to get checked by a healthcare professional in order to ensure the absence of this common STD. Condoms are anyone's best protection against STD, but then again, this would only protect a person in some sexual activities.

Another common STD on the list is gonorrhea, which was given the nickname "clap." The symptoms experienced in this STD caused by a specific strain of bacteria, is very similar to those seen with Chlamydia. Even the effects experienced by people who have had this STD for a lengthy period of time are similar to those with Chlamydia. The organs that are involved in the infection are also the same. The main symptoms that a person who has gonorrhea might experience would be excruciating pain similar to a burning sensation while urinating, and pus discharges for men, and unusual discharges from the vagina in women. One other extra thing that may distinguish gonorrhea from Chlamydia is that one can also get infected by way of one's throat through oral sex.

Syphilis is another common STD that may be difficult to manage. A person may acquire syphilis if he or she was able to come in direct contact with a sore, thus sexual activities are sure- fire ways to get this common STD. Sores will appear where the germs have come into contact with a newly infected person, such as the genital area and even the mouth area. Syphilis must be treated immediately in order to avoid further complications. Treatment of this disease and the absence of visible sores are not determinants that it has already been cured. In fact, there is a very high probability that the bacteria are still inside the body and spreading throughout. During the last stages of syphilis, though, the infected person may no longer be contagious. However, care must be taken by a woman carrying a child inside her womb, as the disease will be passed on to the unborn child.

In order to be extremely sure that you have not acquired any of these common STDs, you may want to contact your healthcare provider immediately, especially if you are sexually active.

The Most Common STD Symptoms


We all have been there in our life. We believe that we are ten feet tall and bullet proof. This is proven every time that we go out to the bar, we sit there have a few drinks and hours later are on the arms of a lovely lady. We wake up the next morning go home and go about our day. Then one of two things happen, we either get the phone call from this woman telling us we need to get checked. We get a rash or a number of other symptoms that make us think we have an STD. This makes our hookup that we had a lot more of a problem than we first thought. But how do we know without testing if we have an STD? This article is designed to give you a heads up as to whether or not you and your doctor need to have a chat. Many STD's share a common set of basic symptoms. Let's look at some of these STD symptoms in particular.

Rash, Itching, Burning

This is an extremely common occurrence among STD symptoms. The rash is usually centered around the genitals and is often accompanied by a burning itch which is unstretchable as it id under the surface of the skin. Most of the time this is a precursor to an outbreak of welts, sores or blisters.

Burning or Difficulty During Urination

Burning and difficulty in urination are both common STD symptoms. This comes from the inflammation of the urethral lining which is prevalent with most viral STD infections. This is among the STD symptoms which are indicative from most sufferers of an STD infection. The problem is that this is not only on the list of STD symptoms but is also common with many other infections especially infections of the bladder and infections of the prostate in men.

Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra

This is among the most noticeable of the common STD symptoms, and aside from burning or difficulty in urination this is usually the first of the STD symptoms to be reported by the infected person. As with burning or difficulty in urination, it should be noted that not all instances of Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra are indicative of STD symptoms. Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra is also a common symptom of other uro-genital infections and conditions that are not sexually transmitted disease related.

Swelling or Tenderness of the Genitals

When it comes to common STD symptoms this is perhaps the hardest one to notice. In men it is not uncommon for there to be swelling or tenderness in the penis and testicles for a wide variety of reasons, in women the genitals are not as easily indicative of swelling or tenderness. If you suspect that you may have been infected with a sexually transmitted disease based upon swelling or tenderness of the genitals, look for other common STD symptoms in conjunction with this.

Most Common STD Symptoms to Get STD Tested


Does it burn, itch, or maybe there's some weird looking discharge down there? It's a possibility you have symptoms most commonly appearing from engaging in sexual intercourse with a partner that was not clean. One of the most common forms of STDs that you can get is genital herpes. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). When you get genital herpes, the most common type is the latter, HSV-2.

If you answered yes to the opening question, you may have symptoms indicating a herpes outbreak. The most typical sign being blisters around the genital area and/or rectum. Should you experience pain and/or tenderness in those areas, most likely, the blisters broke open, revealing ulcers or sores. You can probably expect the initial outbreak to heal within three to four weeks.

Once I have an initial outbreak, will I have another one in the future?

Good question and yes you may have another outbreak weeks or sometimes even months after the initial outbreak, which is much less severe than the first time. The actual virus that causes herpes can stay in your body indefinitely, though rest assured, your outbreaks probably will appear less often and less intense over time.

How do I tell if it's really herpes or not?

It's good that you are inquisitive and care about your health enough to ask that question. The signs and symptoms of the HSV-2 herpes virus can vary greatly from person to person. If you want to visit a doctor, they can usually do a visual inspection to determine whether you do in fact have the virus or not. After your doctor determines they feel you may have herpes, they can take a sample from the infected area and send it in to a laboratory.

What if I think I had herpes in the past and now I'm not so sure?

Ah, interesting point and one other people probably ask most commonly. Should you feel that you may have contracted herpes in the past and want to be 100% sure, you can have a blood test done to give you peace of mind.

What are other common STDs for which I may want to get tested?

Other tests you may want to consider to make sure you really are in top health are Chlamydia, HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Gonorrhea, Oral Herpes (HSV-1), and Hepatitis C.

Now, if you're like some other people, you may not want to visit your on campus doctor if you go to college, your military sick call if you're in the military, or your family doctor, know that you have other options available to you to get std tested.




To get std tested discretely call toll free 877-645-1401 if you do not want to go to your doctor.
