Educational content only

The content on this website is for general education and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It is not a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician.

Symptoms require evaluation

Genital symptoms, discharge, ulcers, pain or possible STI exposure can have multiple causes. Only a clinician can determine the appropriate examination, testing and treatment.

No emergency guidance

This site does not provide emergency medical instructions. For severe pain, high fever, pregnancy concerns, rapid worsening symptoms or emergency signs, seek urgent local medical care.

Test results need interpretation

A negative test does not always rule out infection because of window periods, sample type and test limitations. Results should be interpreted with the timing of exposure and symptoms.
