Treatment of sexually transmitted diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are an increasingly common topic among people of all age groups, and early diagnosis and adequate treatment are the keys to maintaining health. Whether you have noticed symptoms or want a preventive examination, contacting a dermatovenerologist, gynecologist or urologist is the first step to safety. Modern diagnostic tests allow rapid recognition of infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, HIV and others, while therapy in most cases gives excellent results when applied on time. In Belgrade, there are a large number of dermatovenerology offices, laboratories and clinics specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and you can find their list on this page.

Can all venereal diseases be cured?
One of the most common questions is related to curability - bacterial infections such as chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Viral diseases, such as herpes or HIV, require long-term therapy to keep the infection under control. It is important to know that many sexually transmitted diseases initially have no symptoms, so regular check-ups are crucial even when there are no visible complaints.

Transmission and protection - how to prevent infection?
Sexual diseases are most often transmitted through sexual contact - vaginal, oral or anal - but some can also be transmitted through contact with infected skin or mucous membranes. Condoms are the most effective form of protection, but they are not a 100% guarantee, so education and responsible behavior are equally important. Special attention should be paid to prevention in new partnerships or in case of suspected infection in the partner.

What if your partner has a venereal disease?
In the event that your partner has been diagnosed with a venereal disease, it is very important that you also get tested - and treated, if necessary. Both should be treated at the same time to prevent reinfection. Also, it is advisable to avoid sexual contact until complete healing, and after therapy repeat the test to confirm healing.
