What are STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also called sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Some STDs are curable with the right medications, while others can be controlled and managed to prevent serious long-term health risks.

Early detection and treatment is essential, because many STDs show few or no symptoms at the start, which means people can unknowingly spread them to their partners.

STDs symptoms can vary from person to person. Some infections are completely asymptomatic, while others show clear warning signs.

  1. Bacterial STDs (Curable with antibiotics):
  • Chlamydia – one of the most common STDs, often silent but can cause infertility if left untreated.
  • Gonorrhea – can affect the genitals, throat, or rectum; resistant strains are increasing worldwide.
  • Syphilis – progresses in stages; can cause serious neurological and cardiovascular issues if ignored.
  1. Viral STDs (Not curable, but manageable):
  • Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2) – causes painful blisters or sores, with recurrent outbreaks.
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) – may cause genital warts and is linked to cervical and other cancers.
  • HIV/AIDS – weakens the immune system; modern medications (ART) help people live long, healthy lives.
  • Hepatitis B – affects the liver; can cause chronic infection and liver damage.
  1. Parasitic STDs (Treatable with specific medicines):
  • Trichomoniasis – a protozoan infection causing itching, burning, and discharge.
  • Pubic lice (“crabs”) – insects that infest pubic hair, causing intense itching.
  • Scabies – mites that burrow under the skin, spread through close physical contact.

Myths & facts about STD treatment

Sexually transmitted diseases are surrounded by stigma and misinformation. Believing the wrong advice can delay proper care, worsen symptoms, and even increase the risk of spreading the infection to others. Let’s separate facts from myths when it comes to getting treated for STDs online.

Myth 1: If I don’t have symptoms, I don’t have an STD.

Fact: Many STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV can be completely silent for months or even years. Lack of symptoms doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Regular screenings and quick treatment, even if you feel fine, are key to protecting your health and your partner’s.

Myth 2: I can treat an STD with home remedies or over-the-counter meds.

Fact: No amount of cranberry juice, garlic, or drugstore creams will cure an STD. Bacterial infections require prescription antibiotics, and viral STDs like herpes or HIV need specific antiviral medications. Telehealth doctors can prescribe evidence-based treatments, not quick fixes that don’t work.

Myth 3: Getting treated online isn’t safe or effective.

Fact: Licensed online doctors follow the same medical guidelines as in-person clinics. With YDO telehealth services, you can get evaluated, tested, and prescribed the right medications discreetly.

FAQs about STD treatment online

There are free or low-cost sexual health clinics offering free testing. However, if you need to discuss your symptoms with a doctor, connect with our online doctor for STDs.

Most STD’s such as syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis are entirely curable. So without further delay, connect with one of our online doctors and start STDs treatment online immediately.

Anonymous STD tests is a way that ensures the confidentiality of results; the results are only shared with the private tester or the patient.

Symptoms of STDs vary for each disease. They usually appear within two weeks of infection, but they can appear much later. The occurrence of symptoms can depend on the specific STD. For example:

  • After 2–6 weeks, you might start to feel symptoms of HIV, which include flu-like symptoms like fever, sore throat, headache, and aching muscles and joints.
  • Symptoms of chlamydia typically don’t show up for 1–3 weeks, but they can start much later.
  • It may take 4–7 days for symptoms of genital herpes to emerge, and it may take months or even years after the initial exposure.
  • Although symptoms of gonorrhea can manifest at any time after infection, they typically do so within two weeks.
  • Syphilis symptoms usually appear after two to three weeks but can start earlier or much later.

No, Amoxicillin is not the recommended treatment for chlamydia. Chlamydia is typically treated with antibiotics like Azithromycin or Doxycycline. However, it is one of the antibiotics that medical professionals advise using to treat chlamydia in pregnant women. 

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can stay in the body for varying durations depending on the type of infection. There are about 20 different forms of STDs, many of which can go undetected for months, years, or even decades. Dormant STDs and STIs remind us of the value of sexual health testing because only a test can reveal the presence of an asymptomatic infection.

  • Chlamydia: Azithromycin (Zithromax) or doxycycline (Vibramycin).

  • Trichomoniasis: Metronidazole or Tinidazole are commonly used antibiotics
