Sexually Transmitted Infections

Confidential STI care that treats you with the respect and clarity you deserve.

Sexual health is a normal, important part of overall wellbeing — and yet it's one of the areas where people most often delay care out of embarrassment or fear of judgment. At Modern Human MD, Dr. Tran approaches STI screening and treatment with the same directness and compassion she brings to every aspect of your health. Whether you're coming in for a routine check, following up on a potential exposure, or managing an ongoing diagnosis, you'll leave with clear answers and a plan that actually fits your life.

Who This Care May Help

  • You're sexually active and want routine screening as part of your overall health care

  • You've been diagnosed elsewhere and want care from a physician who will explain everything clearly

What STI Screening and Evaluation Includes

A sexual health evaluation at Modern Human MD can include testing for common and less commonly screened infections — such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and HPV — based on your history, risk factors, and symptoms. Dr. Tran takes the time to understand your specific situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all panel. If you're experiencing symptoms, she'll perform a thorough clinical evaluation alongside any necessary testing. If you're asymptomatic and coming in for preventive screening, she'll help you understand what makes sense to test for and how often — so your sexual health care is as thoughtful as the rest of your care.

Treatment and Ongoing Support

Many STIs are highly treatable, and even those that are chronic — such as herpes or HIV — can be managed effectively with the right approach. Dr. Tran will walk you through your results in plain language, explain what they mean for your health and your partners, and work with you on a treatment or management plan that fits your life. Ongoing support may include medication management, follow-up testing, guidance on disclosure and partner notification, and referrals when specialized care is warranted. You won't be handed a prescription and sent on your way — the goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Before Your First Visit

  • Note any symptoms you've been experiencing, even if they seem minor or unrelated
  • Think about your recent sexual history so Dr. Tran can recommend the most appropriate screening
  • Bring any previous STI test results or relevant medical records if you have them
  • Come with your questions — no concern is too small or too uncomfortable to ask

Important

Some STIs can be present without any noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening matters even when you feel completely fine. Early detection and treatment can prevent complications and reduce the risk of transmission to partners. Dr. Tran will always discuss your results with you in full — and everything shared in your visit remains strictly confidential.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How soon after an exposure should I get tested?

It depends on the infection. Some STIs can be detected within days of exposure, while others have a window period during which testing may not yet be accurate. Dr. Tran will guide you on the right timing based on your specific situation and may recommend a follow-up test if an initial result falls within a window period.

2What if I don't have any symptoms — do I still need screening?

Yes. Many STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV, can be present without any symptoms at all. Routine screening is one of the most important things sexually active people can do for their health, regardless of how they feel.

3Is everything I share kept confidential?

Absolutely. Your visit, your test results, and everything you share with Dr. Tran are protected by the same privacy standards that govern all medical care. You can speak openly without concern.

4Can Dr. Tran prescribe PrEP for HIV prevention?

Yes. If PrEP is appropriate for you based on your risk factors and health history, Dr. Tran can prescribe and manage it as part of your ongoing sexual health care, including the regular monitoring that comes with it.

5What if my results come back positive?

Dr. Tran will review your results with you in full, explain what they mean, and outline your options clearly. A positive result is not the end of the conversation — it's the beginning of a plan, and you won't navigate it alone.

6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for STI testing and treatment?

Modern Human MD operates as a direct-pay practice. All costs associated with your visit and any testing are discussed with you transparently in advance so there are no surprises.

Your sexual health deserves the same care and attention as the rest of you.

Dr. Tran provides confidential, comprehensive STI screening and treatment in a setting where you're respected, heard, and supported — from your first question to your last follow-up.
