STI Testing & Treatment

Choices Medical Services: STI Testing & Treatment

Your Health Matters

Regular STI testing (and treatment as needed) can prevent long-term complications and protect your sexual health. You owe it to yourself to get tested and find clarity.

Choices Medical Services provides comprehensive STI testing and treatment for some diseases. We also offer referrals. Take control of your health today.

What Are STIs?

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are spread through sexual contact or bodily fluids like blood or semen. They can also be transmitted to a baby during pregnancy or childbirth. 

Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause STIs. Some people experience symptoms, while others may have none. However, common symptoms include:

  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Painful or burning urination
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Fever
  • Unusual or odorous vaginal discharge
  • Unusual vaginal bleeding
  • Sore, swollen lymph nodes

Untreated STIs can cause serious complications, so it’s crucial to get tested often if you are sexually active. These complications could result in life-long health issues, so testing and treatment matter.

Possible complications include:

  • Eye inflammation
  • Pelvic pain
  • Arthritis
  • Heart disease
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Infertility 
  • Certain cancers (i.e., HPV-related cervical and rectal cancers)

Choices Medical Services provides a non-judgmental space for confidential STI testing and treatment. It’s understandable if you have reservations about STI testing, especially if you are worried about outside opinions. However, staying proactive is nothing to be ashamed of; we exist to support you.
