At Gaya Wellness, we believe sexual health is just health—plain and simple. We provide confidential, judgment-free care that helps you prevent, test, and treat STIs, while empowering you to feel confident and informed about your sexual well-being.
STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are infections spread through sexual contact—vaginal, anal, or oral. Some clear up with treatment, while others require long-term management. “STD” (sexually transmitted disease) is often used interchangeably, but “infection” is more accurate since many don’t cause immediate symptoms.
Anyone who’s sexually active can get an STI—period. But some factors increase risk, including:
Skipping condoms or barriers increases risk.
More partners = more exposure opportunities.
Having one STI can raise your risk of another.
Younger adults often have higher rates, partly due to less frequent testing.
Not knowing your status puts you and your partner(s) at risk.
This isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness. Knowing your risks means you can take control of your sexual health.
Here’s the tricky part: many STIs are silent, showing no symptoms at all. That’s why regular testing is so important. But when symptoms do show up, they may include:
Burning or pain during urination
Unusual discharge (color, odor, or consistency)
Itching, irritation, or sores in the genital area
Pelvic pain or discomfort
Irregular bleeding between periods
Flu-like symptoms (with some infections)
you can’t tell by looking if you—or your partner—have an STI. Testing is the only way to know for sure.
At Gaya Wellness, we make STI care simple, supportive, and stigma-free.
STIs are common. Stigma shouldn’t be. Whether you’re concerned about a recent encounter, want routine testing, or need treatment, you deserve care that’s respectful, compassionate, and effective.
At Gaya Wellness, we’ll help you protect your health, treat infections quickly, and support your sexual confidence along the way. No shame. No judgment. Just straight talk, science, and a little sass to remind you: you’re taking control—and that’s powerful.
Because your sexual health is a vital part of your whole health. And we’re here to make sure it gets the care it deserves.
