Get Tested for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis

 

The Benefits

The sooner chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are found, the easier they are to treat.

These STDs can be cured with antibiotics, but it’s important that you get treatment right away. Your sex partner(s) should also be treated or you could get infected again.

STDs can cause serious health problems, such as infertility, if they are not treated. STDs can be passed from a pregnant woman to her baby before or during the baby's birth.
