My doctor gave me some antibiotics that I am finished taking, I have an appointment in 1 week...I didn't get to ask my doctor if these diseases
can be cured but I just want to kno for sure?

Sorry to hear about your situation. Did you use protection?? Well honey, yes the diseases are curable. That is why your doctor gave you antibiotics. They become a problem when they are left untreated and can lead to alot of things. How old are you by the way? And not to sound harsh but it seems to me you know nothing about sex.... U didn't even know that what u had was curable. You need to know these things. I suggest you look up some info and be safe next time if you engage in risky activities. Also ask your doctor everything you are unsure of and they will give you all the info you need. Take this as a lesson learned. Good luck and hope all goes well for you. ~ erica.

Hi ms. Erica,
no, I didn't use protection, I was very stupid about not using it but I am going to be extra careful in the future...I am 16...

Thank you sooo much for the information and on my next doctor's visit, I will make sure I ask all the questions I need answered.

And i've really learned my lesson...


God bless you...

Love, ciara

Sorry I asked your age not realizing you already posted it lol ! Anyhow, yeah please be careful!!!!!!!!!! There are so many diseases out there that are not curable but they are treatable which are herpes and venereal warts and not to mention the deadly hiv virus. It's a scary world out there and you never know what people have they look no different and unfortunately some people just choose to be dishonest about their health. Consider yourself lucky thats it was all you got. And I just wanted to say too, make sure that you have been tested for every possible disease because sometimes they only check you for chlamydia, ghonnoreah,(spelling) syphillis and so on. You do have to ask for a hiv test and you also need to ask for the herpes test since that test is detected through your blood. It is sadly one of the most popular diseases now days and also very common amongst young adults and half of the people who have the disease have not the slightest clue they have it because they get no symptoms. Well good luck at the doctor and take care of yourself.
God bless you also ~ erica.

Partner(s) Tested??
You should have also been tested for syphillis and hepatitis b. Make sure you were. Also, was your boyfriend tested and treated as well? You don't want to get back what you just got rid of...
