Concerning on penyakit kelamin / std from oral sex
saya wanita 20an, and the first time i received oral sex was last year, and i am not sexually active. i haven’t check if i am diagnosed with std yet. but what will happened if std is not treated? i am very embarrassed to go directly to the clinic, so can i check it with std test kit that is sold online?

Greetings, thank you for your question.
Based on the above information, we understand your concern about the problem you’re having. For your information, STD test kit (at home/ over the mail) can check only very limited types of sexually transmitted disease (STD). Mostly, only Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can be checked this way. Some other equally dangerous or painful STD such as syphilis, genital warts, and herpes cannot be screened by a test kit due to limited technological advances.
Communicating with a doctor should not embarrassed you as treating your problem and easing your worry should come first. Any disease or medical problem needs to be treated early to get a better prognosis. It would help to know that your medical information will be kept private and are protected by the patient confidentiality act.
