Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes: Bacterial STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and trichomoniasis are all treatable with antibiotics. Viral STDs like herpes, hpv and hiv. It is very important that you get seen so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and proper treatment started for you and your sexual partners.
