How It Works
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections spread through sexual contact. They require medical diagnosis and treatment.
COMMON STIs:
SYMPTOMS (many STIs are asymptomatic):
CRITICAL: STIs require medical diagnosis and treatment. Supplements do NOT treat STIs.
PREVENTION:
WHEN TO GET TESTED:
* Medical treatment is essential for STIs.
* Supplements support overall immune health.
* Lysine may help with herpes outbreaks.
* Prevention is the best approach.
Expected timeline: Bacterial STIs typically clear with appropriate antibiotics. Viral STIs (herpes, HIV, HPV) are managed long-term. Supplements provide immune support.
