Chlamydia and gonorrhea remain the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted infections in Clark County, and due to their similar transmission vectors, they frequently co-occur in patients.
Because these bacterial infections are highly transmissible and present asymptomatically in a vast majority of cases, routine molecular screening is absolutely vital.
Left untreated, these pathogens ascend the reproductive tract, causing severe complications and significantly increasing a patient’s biological susceptibility to acquiring other infections, including HIV.
We utilize highly advanced Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAAT), representing the clinical gold standard for detecting these specific pathogens via simple, non-invasive urine samples or localized mucosal swabs.
Upon a positive laboratory result, Dr. Farabi immediately prescribes targeted, dual-action antibiotic therapies designed to eliminate the infection swiftly and definitively. We also offer comprehensive clinical guidance on partner treatment protocols, known as expedited partner therapy, to break the cycle of reinfection and protect your ongoing health.
