Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are more common than many people realize, and testing is a crucial step in protecting your health. However, concerns about cost often prevent people from getting tested.
At RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics, we offer low-cost STD testing and treatment, making it easier for you to take charge of your well-being. Here are three important reasons to take advantage of these services.
1. STDs Don’t Always Show Symptoms
Many STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, can go unnoticed because they don’t always show symptoms right away. You may feel perfectly fine while still carrying an infection that could lead to complications if left untreated.
Regular testing ensures that any infection is caught early before it causes serious health issues such as infertility, chronic pain, or increased risk of transmission to others.
2. Early Detection Prevents Long-Term Health Problems
The longer an STD goes untreated, the greater the risk of long-term complications. For example, untreated syphilis can affect the brain and heart, while chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, increasing the risk of infertility. HIV, if undiagnosed, can weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections.
Early detection allows for timely treatment, reducing the likelihood of severe health problems down the road.
3. Protect Yourself and Your Partner
STD testing isn’t just about your health—it also protects your partner. Many STDs can be transmitted even when no symptoms are present, and some infections can spread through skin-to-skin contact.
If you are sexually active, routine testing is one of the best ways to ensure both you and your partner stay healthy. If you test positive, RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics can offer treatment options to help you both move forward with confidence.
