STD Screening and Treatment

Sexually transmitted infections (STDs) are common, but they can have serious health consequences if left untreated. That’s why it’s important to get tested regularly if you’re sexually active, and to seek treatment if you test positive for an STD. At NovaMed Urgent Care, we offer STD screening and treatment services to help you stay healthy and prevent the spread of these infections. You can get this service at NovaMed Urgent Care located in Chicago.

STD Treatment

If you test positive for an STD, don’t panic. Most infections can be easily treated with antibiotics or antiviral medications, especially if they’re caught early. At NovaMed Urgent Care, we offer prompt, confidential treatment for a range of STDs, so you can get the care you need to feel better and reduce your risk of complications.

Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may include one or more of the following:

• Antibiotics: These are used to treat bacterial infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Antibiotics are usually given as a pill or injection, and most people start feeling better within a few days.

• Antiviral medications: These are used to treat viral infections such as herpes and HIV. Antiviral medications can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of transmission to others. Follow-up testing: Depending on your infection, we may recommend follow-up testing to ensure that the treatment was successful and the infection has been cleared.
