There Are Effective Treatment Options for Many STIs – Get Tested in Tampa, FL, Today
In the United States, sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases continue to surge. The good news is that there are treatment options for many common STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. When detected early, these STIs can be effectively treated and often cured. But the key is early detection, and this can be a problem. Why? STIs often do not cause noticeable symptoms, and even when they do, the symptoms can be vague and easily missed.

What Are the Latest Treatment Options for STIs?
STIs caused by bacteria are generally easy to treat. For instance, an antibiotic—sometimes a single dose—can cure many sexually transmitted bacterial and parasitic infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. On the other hand, an antiviral drug may be prescribed to manage a sexually transmitted viral infection, such as herpes or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). When taken as directed, a prescription antiviral drug can keep the infection in check and reduce the risk of transmission.
