Think there's a chance
you might have chlamydia and/or gonorrhea? Well, there's one very easy
way to find out. Just go to the doctor's office and ask specifically for
the BD BeAware test. Using the latest technology, this test
lets doctors know if you have chlamydia or gonorrhea by simply testing
a urine sample. (If you don't ask for the BD BeAware test by name, chances
are your doctor may use a test which is less accurate than DNA amplification.)
If your BD BeAware
test results are POSITIVE:
The doctor will simply prescribe an antibiotic that should cure you of
the infection completely -- as long as the entire amount of prescribed
medicine is taken. You shouldn't have intercourse while on the medication.
Also, talk to your partner(s) about getting tested and treated; otherwise,
you can be infected again the next time you have sex.
If your BD BeAware
test results are NEGATIVE:
It means you probably don't have an infection at this time. However, that
doesn't mean you can't still get it. So, if you are sexually active and
you want to stay healthy, it's important to get tested for chlamydia and
gonorrhea every year by asking for the BD BeAware test every time you
go for your annual Pap smear.
