Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) – Screening & Treatment

Confidential Testing | Early Diagnosis | HIV/HPV Counseling | Immediate Treatment

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), also known as STDs, are common and often preventable. Many STIs show no symptoms in the early stages, leading to long-term health issues like infertility, chronic pain, and severe complications if left untreated.

At Sri Rama Multi Speciality Hospital, Jammikunta, we offer a completely confidential and non-judgmental service for STI screening, testing, counseling, and immediate treatment under the care of our expert gynecologists.

What Are Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)?

STIs are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact. They are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

  • Treatment: Many bacterial STIs (like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis) are curable with antibiotics. Viral STIs (like HIV, Herpes) are manageable with medication.

  • Importance: Early testing is vital. Timely treatment prevents serious consequences like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) or passing the infection to others.
