Who should you contact if have an STD?

If you think you may have a sexually transmitted disease (STD), it's important to see a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Your healthcare provider can:

* Test you for STDs

* Diagnose any STDs you may have

* Prescribe treatment for your STD

* Provide information on how to prevent future STDs

Depending on your situation, you may want to see:

* A primary care doctor or family doctor

* A gynecologist (if you are a woman)

* An urologist (if you are a man)

* A sexual health clinic

* A Planned Parenthood clinic

If you're not sure where to go, you can call your local health department. They will be able to give you information about STD testing and treatment in your area.

It's important to get tested for STDs even if you don't have any symptoms. Some STDs can cause serious health problems if they're not treated early.
