Contact your doc: This is the Healthtap public site where volunteer docs answer questions based on data you post. It does not offer consults/virtual or otherwise nor does it share info with sites that do. You might find a willing doc through www.connect@healthtap.com but since STD treatment usually requires tests for verification/germ ID some may not want to participate.

Std's: STD's require confirmatory tests and while treatment is approved empirically, that treatment is only offered by physicians aware of the patient's comorbidities, previous treatment, allergies and so on. Anything else will likely result in either poor use of antibiotics and/ or undertreating mixed infections. Stay with your doc for all medical needs and use consistently protection with intercourse.
