Living with an STD can feel embarrassing, overwhelming and maybe hurtful. But it is important to remember that the first necessary step is to seek help and treatment. Many STDs can be easily treated with antibiotics, so the sooner you schedule an appointment, the sooner your treatment can begin.
Once you have been diagnosed, you must practice safe sex to prevent the spread of your STD. And condom use is not the only way to practice safe sex. In addition to using a condom, you also should know your STD status as well as your partner's. Getting regular STD screenings and medical check-ups is a must to prevent the spread of STDs.
