&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQs About STD Testing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Your Questions Answered by Experts at PULSE Clinic Philippines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should I Get Tested for STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Yes. Even if you don&amp;rsquo;t have symptoms, getting tested is the only way to know your status. Most STDs are asymptomatic, meaning they show no signs. If you&amp;rsquo;ve had any sexual contact&amp;mdash;vaginal, anal, or oral&amp;mdash;you should speak to a doctor or nurse about STD testing. Regular testing helps protect both you and your partner(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Think I Have Symptoms of an STD. Should I Get Tested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Absolutely. If you notice anything unusual&amp;mdash;discharge, itching, pain, or sores&amp;mdash;get tested. Symptoms can be mild or come and go, but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean the infection has cleared. Early detection is key to effective treatment and preventing complications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Should I Get Tested for STIs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a critical part of maintaining your sexual health. Many STIs don&amp;rsquo;t show symptoms, but they can still be passed to others or cause serious health problems over time. Regular screening ensures early diagnosis and treatment, which helps reduce the risk of transmission and long-term complications like infertility, chronic pain, or cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Should I Get Tested for STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Here are general guidelines:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;After any new sexual partner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Every 3 months, if you have multiple or casual partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Annually, if you&#39;re in a monogamous relationship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Note: Some STDs like chlamydia and &lt;strong&gt;gonorrhoea&lt;/strong&gt; may take up to 2 weeks to appear in tests, while &lt;strong&gt;HIV&lt;/strong&gt; may take 6&amp;ndash;7 weeks. If you&#39;re not experiencing symptoms, wait for the correct window period to test for the most accurate results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does&amp;nbsp;Gonorrhea Go Away on Its Own?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;No. While symptoms might subside temporarily, &lt;strong&gt;gonorrhea needs to be treated&lt;/strong&gt; with the correct antibiotics. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to serious health issues and complications. In recent years, drug-resistant strains have emerged, making it even more important to complete prescribed treatments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can STDs Be Cured?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Yes, many STDs&amp;mdash;such as &lt;strong&gt;chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;gonorrhoea&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;syphilis&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;trichomoniasis&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;can be cured with medication. However, &lt;strong&gt;viral infections&lt;/strong&gt; like &lt;strong&gt;HIV&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;herpes&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;HPV&lt;/strong&gt; can be managed but not completely cured. Early testing and proper treatment improve health outcomes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Often Should I Be Tested for STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;It depends on your lifestyle and risk factors:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every 3&amp;ndash;6 months,&lt;/strong&gt; if you have multiple partners or engage in high-risk sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Once a year&lt;/strong&gt; for those in long-term, monogamous relationships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;More frequently if you&amp;rsquo;re living with HIV or are a man who has sex with men&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Talk to your doctor about creating a personalised screening schedule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Is at Higher Risk for STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;High-risk groups include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Men who have sex with men (MSM)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;People living with HIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Individuals with multiple sexual partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Those who don&amp;rsquo;t use condoms consistently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re in any of these categories, testing every 3 to 6 months is recommended.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Does STD Testing Involve?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;STD testing may include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Urine sample&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blood test&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swab test&lt;/strong&gt; from the genitals, anus, throat, or mouth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The process is quick, private, and usually painless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Long Will I Wait for STD Results?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rapid tests&lt;/strong&gt; (like HIV) may give you results in 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blood, urine, or swab tests&lt;/strong&gt; typically take &lt;strong&gt;1 to 3 days&lt;/strong&gt;, depending on the type of test.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Will I Receive My STD Results?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;At PULSE Clinic, you&amp;rsquo;ll receive your results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Or by phone if immediate attention is required&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;We ensure confidentiality and privacy at all times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.&lt;/strong&gt; Even if your symptoms go away, stopping treatment early can lead to resistance and recurrence. Always complete the full course of medication as prescribed, and follow up with your healthcare provider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
