Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
What are STIs
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections spread primarily through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and may affect anyone who is sexually active. Common examples include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HPV, and HIV.
Symptoms vary by infection — some cause discharge, burning, itching, rashes, or pelvic pain, while others may show no symptoms at all.
Because many STIs are silent, regular screening is essential for early detection and treatment.
Why It Matters
Untreated STIs can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, chronic pain, and increased risk of other infections such as HIV. They can also be passed unknowingly to partners or, in some cases, to newborns during childbirth.
Early testing and treatment not only protect your health but also help stop the spread of infection. At Getuwell, we provide confidential, judgment-free care focused on early detection, treatment, and prevention — helping patients stay healthy and informed.

What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.
At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.
Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:
- Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
- Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
- Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
