Confidential STI Screening & Treatment
Comprehensive, Discreet Care for Sexual Health.
What are Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)?
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Many STIs have no immediate symptoms, making regular screening essential for early detection, effective treatment, and the prevention of long-term health complications.
Clinical Mechanism
| Condition | Symptoms & Signs |
|---|---|
Gonorrhea & Chlamydia | Painful urination (dysuria), unusual penile or vaginal discharge (often cloudy, yellow, or green). Women may also experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or a strong vaginal odor. |
Syphilis | Primary: A single, painless sore (chancre) at the site of infection (genitals, mouth, or anus). Secondary: Skin rashes (palms of hands and soles of feet), fever, and swollen lymph nodes. If untreated, latent syphilis can cause severe, irreversible damage to the nervous system and internal organs. |
| Condition | Symptoms & Signs |
|---|---|
Genital Herpes (HSV) | Outbreaks of itchy, painful blisters or sores in the genital or anal area. When blisters break, they leave shallow, tender ulcers. Outbreaks can recur, often triggered by stress or a weakened immune system. |
Genital Warts (HPV) | Small, flesh-colored, or pink bumps in the genital area, thighs, or anus that may take on a cauliflower-like appearance. Typically painless but can cause itching or discomfort. |
HIV | Within 2-4 weeks of exposure: flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Often followed by a clinical latency stage with no symptoms. Without antiretroviral therapy (ART), the virus progressively damages the immune system. |
Hepatitis B (HBV) | Chronic fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain (upper right quadrant), dark urine, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes). |
| Condition | Symptoms & Signs |
|---|---|
Trichomoniasis | Women: frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong, foul odor, intense vaginal itching, and painful urination. Men: frequently asymptomatic but may experience mild irritation inside the urethra or a slight discharge. |
