Thanks for your question.

First of all you must know as that STD is? Sexually transmitted diseases are synonymously known as STDs. It is an infection which is generally acquired by sexual contact. It can pass from person via semen, blood, or vaginal and other bodily fluids.

You can also acquire them non sexually also that is from the mother to her infant during pregnancy or via shared needles or blood transfusions.

You can even get this disease from people who look normal or even from people who do not know that they are infected of this disease.

It is the STD Doctor who can treat you properly and if you wait for a doctor it may allow the disease to progress and inflict more damage. If you think that you may have acquired STD, you should see your doctor right away.

If you don't have a doctor or do not wish to see your family doctor, it is possible for you to locate a local clinic in your city where you can get yourself tested confidentially. Most of the local as well as national organizations are there who operate STD hotlines which are manned by trained specialists who can answer all your doubts and questions and also provide you with referrals.
