Learn about common STIs in Australia and how to treat them.
At .doctor, we believe in providing comprehensive information about various health conditions to empower our patients. STIs are infections transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex, as well as through the sharing of sex toys. They can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation.
At .doctor, we emphasize the importance of regular STI testing, especially for those who are sexually active or have multiple partners. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing STIs and preventing further complications. Our bulk billing General Practitioner practice in Australia offers discreet and confidential referrals for STI testing and treatment services.
