Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. Anyone can become infected and some individuals are infected after only one sexual encounter. Many viral infections, such as Herpes, Genital Warts (Human Papilloma Virus), HIV and Hepatitis B can be treated and managed, but there is no known "cure" for these STIs. Hepatitis C is a viral infection with options for a cure. Bacterial STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis usually respond to antibiotics. However, antibiotic resistance is a growing concern. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers Gonorrhea drug resistance an urgent threat. You can help prevent STIs through safer sexual behavior, in particular consistent and correct condom use. Stamps Health Services provides low cost testing to students and eligible spouses.

A wave of drug overdoses in Georgia has killed as many as four people and hospitalized dozens over two days, health officials said on Tuesday. Christopher Hendry, the chief medical officer at Navicent Health, a hospital in Macon, said at a news conference that officials believed the spate of overdoses was linked to yellow pills that users bought on the street. He noted, however, that toxicology reports will not come back for a few more days, so the causes of the deaths have not been confirmed. "There is a new drug that's surfaced in our community," he said. "It's being sold on the street as Percocet, however, when it's taken, the patients are experiencing significant and severe decreased levels of consciousness and respiratory failure." In a statement, the Georgia Department of Health said while the overdoses were reported in south and central Georgia, the drugs may also have been sold in other parts of the state. "The substance has not yet been ide...

Chlamydia is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial STI in the United States. In 2018, there were approximately 4 million chlamydial infections among people ages 15–39 years. Because this STI is a bacterial infection, it's treated with antibiotics. The two most common antibiotic treatments for chlamydial infections are azithromycin and doxycycline. Azithromycin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antibiotic used to treat genital chlamydia. It works to cure chlamydia by stopping the bacteria from multiplying. Adults and adolescents who are experiencing symptoms associated with chlamydia can take azithromycin for treatment. Though many people with chlamydia are asymptomatic (they don't show symptoms), common symptoms can include: abnormal discharge pain while urinating pain in the lower abdomen (in those assigned female...
