No, don't take it: Also called penicillin VK and is not recommended for treatment of any STD. It could work against syphilis if taken at least 3-4 weeks. It can't be used for gonorrhea, chlamydia, or anything else. Taking it could screw up diagnosis for any of these, delaying proper treatment. If you think you have STD or have been exposed, DO NOT take this. See a doctor for testing and proper treatment.
