STD testing and treatment in San Antonio

Understanding the STD Landscape

Roughly half of the 20 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STDs) reported each year in the United States are found in adolescents aged 15 to 24 years old. While some STDs can be cured with antibiotics, others require ongoing management. Prompt testing and treatment are crucial to prevent serious health complications. 

At Women’s Wellness of SA, we provide comprehensive STD testing and treatment for all our patients in San Antonio, Universal City, and Schertz. We understand that discussing STDs can be challenging, but we strive to ensure you receive the care you require.

STD Testing & Treatment

STD evaluation begins with a confidential conversation with one of our providers, who will inquire about your symptoms and sexual history to recommend appropriate tests. 

There are two main types of STDs: Bacterial and Viral.

Bacterial STDs can usually be quickly cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs, on the other hand, cannot be cured and may persist for a lifetime. However, it is possible to manage viral STD symptoms with medications. While we offer confidential testing for STDs, we also provide an anonymous testing option to ensure your comfort in sharing information with us.

Benefits of STD Testing San Antonio

At Women’s Wellness of SA, STD testing brings numerous advantages for our patients. Testing can help you and your partner(s) avoid serious health complications and pave the way for timely treatment. Moreover, it can alleviate worries and grant you control over your sexual health. It’s essential to remember that STDs are common, and getting tested reflects your responsibility toward your health and that of your partner(s).

Sexually Transmitted Disease Symptoms

STD symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type of infection. Some STDs may manifest symptoms within a few days or weeks, while others may not show any symptoms for months or even years. It’s important to note that many STDs can present with few or no symptoms, making it possible to be unaware of an infection. 

If you suspect you may have been exposed to an STD, we encourage you to visit our sexual health clinics located in San Antonio, Universal City, and Schertz, TX, or GP for a free and confidential check-up.

Protecting yourself from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is essential for your health and well-being. Here are some effective prevention methods:

  • Abstinence: This is the only guaranteed way to prevent STIs.
  • Monogamy: Being in a mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested for STIs can significantly reduce your risk.
  • Consistent Condom Use: Correct and consistent use of condoms can help prevent the spread of many STIs.
  • Regular Testing: Getting tested for STIs regularly is crucial, especially if you have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex.
  • Vaccinations: The HPV and hepatitis B vaccines can protect against these specific STIs.
  • Open Communication: Talking openly with your sexual partners about STI status and prevention is essential for mutual protection.
  • Limit Alcohol and Drug Use: Substance abuse can impair judgment and increase risky sexual behaviors.

Remember, early detection and treatment are key to managing STIs effectively. If you have concerns or questions about STIs, consult with our STD specialist at Women’s Wellness of SA.
