Confidential STI screening in Passaic

Even unexplained flu-like symptoms can be a sign of an STI. In general, if you are feeling off and there is no clear medical explanation, it could be down to an STI. Of course, the best idea is to get screened before symptoms show up at all! Give our office in Passaic a call to schedule an appointment where we offer STI screening and prescribe treatment to help eradicate the cause of your infection. On the other side, once we have prescribed a course of treatment, for example a course of antibiotics, don’t stop taking them just because you feel better! This is a classic mistake; the symptoms go away before the infection meaning that if you don’t completely eradicate it with a full course of antibiotics, it could still linger and cause you problems down the line.
