Sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) are a significant health problem in many countries, including western societies (see The Hidden Epidemic, Confronting Sexually Transmitted Diseases).  Many of these diseases are on the increase and they have the ability to spread rapidly through the sexually active community. Some such as Chlamydia can causes permanent damage to the female reproductive organs and others such as gonorrhoea may have few symptoms (in females) and can act as a silent reservoir to infect multiple sexual partners and their subsequent partners in an ever increasing cycle of infection.

Despite our relatively enlightened modern society, STD’s retain a certain social stigma and are often not discussed or disclosed. Embarrassment about STD’s can also prevent many individuals from seeking medical advice and treatment. Failure to disclose or inform recent contacts can also encourage spread of disease in the community and the risk of complications in the untreated contacts..

Your Rapid Diagnosis STD  allows at risk or symptomatic individuals to investigate the possibility of an STD in complete privacy and to obtain a detailed description of these diseases so that they may be better informed. This will hopefully encourage them to seek advice from the appropriate medical professional if appropriate..
