Sexually transmitted diseases, more commonly referred to as STDs, are commonplace in society, especially for those ages 15-24. According to the American Sexual Health Association, one in two sexually active people will contract an STD by the time they turn 25. It’s estimated that 20 million new STDs occur annually, with over half of the cases reported to be in people aged 18-30. Thanks to our online doctor service, getting tested and treated for an STD has never been easier or more discrete.
