How private can STD testing centers be regarding patient information?
I’m under 18, so I would prefer it if my parents did NOT find out that I want to get tested for an STD or STI.
Up to how much can tests cost? Do they really need insurance information? I know I’m a minor and we can only do so much, but I want to keep this as private as possible.
You can check the website hivtest.org to find free STD/HIV testing sites in your area. Testing is confidential. Results, and even the fact that you were tested, can not be released without your written permission. (Some testing centers use anonymous testing, where you would not even have to use your real name.)
when go for a blood test to know about he/she have hiv?
I learned HIV has to be tested a few times in 2-7 years for it to be diagnosed because it wouldnt show up in all blood tests. So it might show up on test in year 2 or year 7 or even later but it might not show up in year 7 at all. It’s tricky. God bless you
Crabs, Genital warts, etc. Which of these have no cure?
Those are probably the most common ones with genital warts being called HPV, not currently curable, but they do have a vaccine now though, everyone should get this HPV is a killer.
So a month ago I was diagnosed with gonorrhea, however I never had any symptoms. Anyway they treated me with a single dose of antibiotics. I must have had gonorrhea for 18 months since that’s the last time I slept with somebody.
The only symptom I ever had was discomfort in my intestines, however that’s not a symptom of gonorrhea. Well now I’m getting pain in my knees, ankles, wrists, shins, and my liver. I also have this burning sensation in specific spots in my lower abdomen and my lower back.
Are these symptoms that gonorrhea is still persistent? Or maybe they are symptoms caused by the killing of the bacteria.
Any ideas?
You have either advanced stage of ghonorea or a cancer. ghonorea can cause cancer. Your symptoms sound very serious to me.See your doctor soon.
