chosen: It is understandable why you are feeling overwhelmed. It can be scary to have an STD and have to reach out to your partner(s). However, it is important to be forthright and respectful when talking to them. Talking with a partner about something private and important can be tough, but communicating and being honest is the best way to manage the situation. It is also important to consider the health and well-being of your partner and protecting them from any possible harm. Talk to your health care provider and ask them about STD treatment and prevention options, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Taking that first step will help ensure that you and your partner get the care and information you need. Don't be ashamed and don't suffer in silence—reach out.  *********
  
  Answer: \strong{Don't panic. You can take steps now to protect your health and help reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others.}
  
  Talk to your healthcare provider about testing, treatment and preventive options such as condoms or dental dams.
  
  If needed, get treatment for any underlying issues such as stress, depression, or anxiety, as untreated mental health can increase risk for STD and unplanned pregnancy.
  
  Talk to your partner(s). Inform your partner(s) in detail about the infection and recommend they seek treatment if applicable.  Make sure to provide them with a source of verifiable, accurate information.  Reiterate the importance of regular screenings to stay healthy and help prevent spread to others.  You may wish to include that prevention and testing is an individual decision and it is important for both parties to respect whatever choice is made. 
  
  If necessary, provide the information confidentially or anonymously, and keep records if needed.
  
  Seek emotional support from family and friends who will understand and help keep you motivated and on track.
