When do you treat an STD?

As soon as possible.

STDs can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Treatment can help to:

* Prevent the spread of infection to others

* Reduce symptoms

* Improve overall health

* Prevent serious complications, such as infertility or cervical cancer

If you think you may have an STD, see a healthcare provider right away. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for preventing serious health problems.
