At Piedmont Women’s Center, we test for and treat Gonorrhea and Chlamydia for both women and men. STD’s and STI’s are passed from person to person through any sexual activity. They don’t always cause symptoms, or the symptoms may be mild, so it is possible to contract an infection and even spread it others without knowing that you have been infected. This is why it is important to be tested for STD’s and STI’s if you are sexually active.
