STD’s

At CleCare, we take sexual health and wellbeing seriously. Sexually transmitted diseases, commonly referred to as STDs or sexually transmitted infections or STI's, are infections spread primarily through sexual contact. Many sexually active people will be exposed to at least one type of STD at some point in their lives. Because of this, it is important to know how to recognize the signs of an STD and where to go for treatment if need be.

If you think that you may have contracted an STD or want to get tested for peace of mind, CleCare Urgent Care offers convenient, comfortable, and confidential services related to sexually transmitted diseases. At CleCare, we can diagnose and treat common sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B/C and herpes simplex virus (HSV). Depending on the type of STD, treatment may include antibiotics or antiviral medications.

A common question is how do you avoid STDs or limit chances of exposure? If you have been sexually active, it is important to be aware of safe sex practices in order to prevent the spread or transmission of sexually transmissible diseases. This includes using condoms and/or dental dams during all sexual activities, not sharing needles when engaging in drug use and getting tested regularly. If you are sexually active with multiple partners, it is best to get checked for STDs every three months or after any new partner.

Getting screened and treated at CleCare can help protect your health as well as the health of your partners by preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. If you think that you may have contracted an STD or just want to get tested, contact your nearest urgent care center today.
