STD Treatment in the Philadelphia Area

If your test results come back positive, our providers can begin treatment immediately. We offer both antibiotic and antiviral treatment options depending on the infection.

Antibiotic Treatment

Used for bacterial and parasitic infections such as:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Syphilis
• Trichomoniasis

Some antibiotics are single‑dose; others require several days. Completing the full course is essential, even if symptoms improve.

Antiviral Treatment

Used for viral infections such as:

• Herpes
• HPV (symptom management)
• Hepatitis (depending on type)

Antivirals help:

• Reduce outbreaks
• Lower transmission risk
• Manage long‑term symptoms

Most medications are available on‑site, and additional treatments can be ordered if needed.

When Is It Safe to Resume Sexual Activity?

To protect yourself and your partner(s):

• Avoid sexual contact during treatment
• Wait at least 7 days after finishing antibiotics
• Wait until all sores or lesions have healed
• Retest in 3 months, as reinfection rates are high

These steps help prevent spreading the infection or becoming reinfected.

Confidential, Judgment‑Free Care

Your privacy matters. AFC Urgent Care provides discreet, respectful care at all Philadelphia‑area locations.

We encourage patients to notify current or recent partners so they can be tested and treated. If you need help with partner notification, local health departments in the Philadelphia region offer confidential assistance.
