How To Cure STD Without Going To The Doctor?

You generally cannot safely cure an STD without medical care

Do not try to self-treat with random antibiotics or leftover medicine

Stop sexual activity until you are tested and treated

Get an STI/STD test as soon as possible

Use condoms or dental dams to reduce spread

Tell recent sexual partners so they can get tested

Follow the full treatment exactly if a clinician prescribes it

Avoid alcohol and drugs if they interfere with getting care

Seek urgent care immediately for severe pain, fever, rash, sores, discharge, testicle pain, pelvic pain, or pregnancy

If privacy is the issue, use a confidential sexual health clinic, telehealth, or public health clinic

If you think you were exposed to HIV, get emergency care right away for post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours
