Sexually Transmitted Infections and Vaccinations
Proactive Measures for Sexual Health
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) constitute a diverse array of diseases caused by bacterial and viral agents, primarily transmitted through sexual contact. The reported incidence of these infections is escalating at an alarming rate, driven by factors such as increased sexual activity at younger ages, changing societal attitudes towards sex, the widespread availability of effective contraception and abortion services, and heightened awareness among physicians.
In certain cases, individuals are advised to undergo increased testing sensitivity and preventive vaccinations. Dr. David Fong and his dedicated staff recognize the importance of proactive healthcare measures and offer comprehensive screening services. Specifically, they provide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations to eligible females based on criteria endorsed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Increased Testing May Be Necessary
Routine and targeted testing is paramount for sexually active women to detect and manage STIs effectively. In certain cases, individuals are advised to undergo increased testing sensitivity and preventive vaccinations.
