Taking STD test

What infected patients should know about?

Sexually active people who prefer unprotected sex are not smart to think of the grave consequences and the lack of curative medications for some infections. To engage in unprotected sex (vaginal, anal, or oral) has dire health implications. More so, patients may need different testing or screening methods to evaluate their STD status. Globally, there are series of doctor-patient privacy laws that apply to STI screening or testing. It is common for adolescents and youth who engage in illicit sex to disclose their specific sexual acts to their health care providers.
