STD Testing
Every year, over 20 million people are infected with a sexually transmitted disease. Many diseases fall under this umbrella, not all of which are dangerous. Despite the stigma, STDs are very common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. At MedForce Mobile, we offer STD testing so you can start finding the treatment you need.
what are STDs?
STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are infections spread through vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse. STDs, also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs, are extremely common. In fact, over half of the entire US population is estimated to contract at least one STD at some point in their life.
why is STD testing important?
Testing for STDs is essential as it can help protect your overall health and prevent others from contracting the disease. Many STDs don’t show visible signs, often for years after contracting the disease. This can cause a wide range of health issues that are impossible to treat without the proper diagnosis. Some STDs, like HIV, can even make it more likely to contract more infections, making the diagnosis that much more important.
what are the most common STDs?
According to the Center for Disease Control, the most common STDs include:
Bacterial vaginosis
Chlamydia
