An infection transmitted through sexual contact is caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Visit our local Urgent Care Clinic in Oklahoma City to help!
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that you can get from having sex with someone who has the infection. There are more than 20 types of STDs, including
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Genital herpes
- HIV/AIDS
- HPV
- Syphilis
- Trichomoniasis
Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many cases the health problems they cause can be more severe for women. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can cause serious health problems for the baby.
If you have an STD caused by bacteria or parasites, your health care provider can treat it with antibiotics or other medicines. If you have an STD caused by a virus, there is no cure. Sometimes medicines can keep the disease under control. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading STDs.
Don’t delay – please visit our walk in Urgent Care Clinic in North Oklahoma City and meet with one of our Health Care Providers as soon as possible.
