Sexually Transmitted Diseases Health Center

A diagnosis of an STD comes with social responsibility. This responsibility involves visiting your doctor to get proper treatment as well as taking other steps to get healthy so your body can work harder to fight the disease and prevent new complications.

If you have an STD, it is important that you tell all past, current and future sexual partners. Your sexual partners have a right to know if they have been exposed to a disease. If they don't know of their infection, they could pass disease on to others, and the cycle could continue. 

Always practice safe sex, especially if you have an STD.
