STI TESTING & TREATMENT: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Have you been tested?

At Citra, we believe safe sex is self-care. That’s why we encourage sexually-active patients to stay informed, communicate openly with their partner(s), and get regularly tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

What can you expect from STI testing and treatment at Citra? Read on for answers to frequently asked questions from patients like you.

Why should I get tested for STIs?

For one thing, STIs are common. In fact, 1 in 5 Americans has an STI, according to the CDC. Plus, many STIs are asymptomatic, meaning you can have one and not even know it. The only way to find out is to get tested.

How often should I get tested?

Depending on your level of sexual activity, we recommend every 3 to 6 months as an excellent place to start. New relationship? Schedule a test (and talk to your partner about scheduling one too!) before you get intimate.

What if I’m in a monogamous relationship?

Like we said earlier, many people don’t know they have an STI and unknowingly spread it. Again, both partners should be screened before starting a sexual relationship.
