Confidential STD Screening and Treatment in Conroe, TX

Sexual health is an important part of overall well-being, just like physical and mental health. It encompasses a variety of factors, including your physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being in relation to your sexuality.

However, navigating concerns about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), can feel overwhelming. That’s why at Greater Houston Family Medicine, we offer a judgment-free environment for your comprehensive STD screening and treatment.

What are STIs?

STIs are infections that are passed through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can be easily treated with antibiotics. However, other STIs, such as HIV and herpes, are chronic conditions that cannot be cured.

STD screening is recommended for:

• Sexually active individuals, especially those with new or multiple partners
• Individuals experiencing any symptoms of an STD, such as unusual discharge, genital pain, or burning during urination.
• Pregnant women to protect their health and the health of their babies.

Our STI Screening and Treatment Process

During your appointment, we will discuss your sexual history, risk factors, and any concerns you may have. A physical examination may be performed, and depending on the recommended tests, samples may be collected through urine swabs, blood draws, or genital swabs.

We will ensure you understand the testing process and answer any questions you may have. Your test results will be available in a timely manner, and we will schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your results and treatment options.
