Who is online STD & STI treatment right for?

Online STD & STI treatment offers a confidential telehealth service where patients can connect with board-certified healthcare providers via secure video calls to discuss symptoms, request testing, and begin treatment if needed. Our providers can prescribe medications such as antibiotics or antivirals and send prescriptions electronically to your local pharmacy. This service is ideal for anyone seeking discreet, same-day sexual health care without visiting a clinic in person.

Online STD & STI treatment is generally suitable for:

STD or STI symptoms
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, painful urination, sores, itching, rashes, or other concerns after sexual activity.
Convenience
Anyone seeking discreet and judgment-free care, whether for routine screening, follow-up after exposure, or needing a doctor’s note for testing and treatment.
Medications
Patients requiring prescription treatment for bacterial infections (like chlamydia or gonorrhea), antivirals for herpes, or preventive medications such as HIV PrEP or PEP.
Quick relief & peace of mind
Anyone wanting fast answers and treatment from home, avoiding delays at urgent care or in-person clinics.

Common questions you may have about the STD & STI.

Which STD & STI conditions do we treat?

We diagnose and treat a wide range of STDs and STIs, including:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Genital herpes (HSV-1/HSV-2)
  • Syphilis (referrals for testing & treatment)
  • HIV prevention: PrEP & PEP
  • Bacterial vaginosis
  • Yeast infections related to sexual activity
  • Other common infections and related concerns

Should I see a doctor for an STD or STI?

Yes. If you notice unusual discharge, burning during urination, sores, rashes, itching, or if you believe you’ve been exposed to an STD, it’s important to speak with a doctor. Many STIs don’t cause symptoms at first, but can still spread or cause complications. HLTHi providers are available same-day for confidential online visits — no in-person clinic needed.

What are the symptoms of common STDs?

  • Chlamydia & Gonorrhea: Painful urination, discharge, pelvic pain.
  • Herpes (HSV): Painful blisters or sores, itching, tingling.
  • Trichomoniasis: Itching, burning, unusual discharge, odor.
  • Syphilis: Sores (chancres), rash, swollen lymph nodes.
  • HIV (early): Flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, sore throat.

Some STDs may cause no symptoms at all — regular testing is the only way to know for sure.

Do I need to go to a lab?

Not always. Our providers can assess symptoms and prescribe treatment right away if appropriate. Some infections, like herpes or trichomoniasis, can often be treated based on symptoms alone. In cases where lab testing is needed (for example, to confirm chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, or HIV), your provider will guide you to the right test.

How quickly should I get treated?

The sooner the better. Early treatment prevents complications, reduces symptoms, and helps protect your partners. Some infections can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics; others, like herpes or HIV, are managed with ongoing treatment.

Can I get medication online?

Yes. HLTHi providers can prescribe antibiotics, antivirals, or preventive medications (like PrEP/PEP for HIV) and send them electronically to your local pharmacy.

How do I protect my partner?

Abstain from sex until treatment is complete or symptoms resolve. Always use condoms or dental dams, and encourage your partner(s) to get tested and treated if needed.
