STI treatment guide

Chlamydia and trichomoniasis treatment online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for a positive chlamydia or trichomoniasis test result, or a documented recent partner diagnosis (expedited partner therapy) — not for gonorrhea, syphilis, or symptoms suggesting a more serious pelvic or systemic infection.

Start online

Start a $59 online review for STI treatment.

Chlamydia and trichomoniasis are common, curable sexually transmitted infections. When you have a positive test result — or your partner was recently diagnosed and you need partner treatment — online review can often confirm treatment quickly. Gonorrhea and syphilis are different: both require a same-day in-person injection and are never treated through this online lane.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

What happens next

Start the request on the website, answer the fit questions, and choose the response window you want. If the concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends a secure update after sign-in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Your physician

Licensed in Virginia and West Virginia — your care is never handed off.

Why can't you treat gonorrhea or syphilis online?

Both infections are treated with a single in-person injection (ceftriaxone for gonorrhea, penicillin for syphilis) rather than a pill you take at home, so they cannot be prescribed through this asynchronous online lane. If your test is positive for either, go to an urgent care clinic, health department STI clinic, or emergency department for same-day treatment.

What is expedited partner therapy?

If your sex partner was recently diagnosed with chlamydia or trichomoniasis, Virginia and West Virginia both allow treating you based on that diagnosis without requiring your own positive test — this is called expedited partner therapy (EPT). You'll be asked for details about your partner's diagnosis and treatment.

Do I need to tell my partner?

Yes. Any sex partner from the last 60 days needs to be treated too, or you can be reinfected even after your own treatment finishes. Avoid sex for 7 days after you and your partner(s) both complete treatment, and plan to get retested in about 3 months.
