Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 million new STI cases are diagnosed worldwide every day.
The rapid development of telemedicine has significantly changed how such conditions are diagnosed and treated. Modern remote care platforms, including REMED, enable patients to receive safe, confidential, and evidence-based medical support without the need for an immediate in-person visit.
Online Treatment Capabilities
During an online consultation, a doctor can perform a comprehensive clinical assessment. Remote care allows specialists to:
- collect a detailed medical history and assess symptoms;
- identify individual risk factors;
- prescribe necessary laboratory tests;
- interpret test results.
Once the diagnosis is laboratory-confirmed, treatment is prescribed in accordance with international clinical guidelines. The physician also monitors treatment effectiveness and provides recommendations for partner testing and prevention of reinfection.
The REMED platform ensures secure video communication, safe exchange of test results, and proper storage of medical records in compliance with telemedicine and data protection standards.
STIs That Can Be Managed Online
Remote medical support is possible for the most common STIs, including:
- chlamydia and trichomoniasis;
- genital herpes;
- mycoplasma and ureaplasma infections;
- human papillomavirus (HPV) — counseling and management strategy;
- initial syphilis screening;
- HIV and viral hepatitis — counseling and follow-up care.
Treatment is prescribed strictly after laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis.
When Online Care Is Not Enough
In some cases, an in-person medical examination is required. This applies to situations involving:
- pelvic or testicular pain;
- suspected inflammatory complications;
- unexplained skin rashes;
- anal or oropharyngeal lesions;
- systemic symptoms or suspected oncological conditions.
In such cases, REMED serves as a primary triage platform with referral to an appropriate specialist for in-person care.
Benefits of Online STI Care
Remote STI treatment combines clinical effectiveness with patient comfort. Key benefits include:
- confidentiality and reduced stigma;
- early diagnosis;
- time savings;
- access to care regardless of location;
- monitoring treatment adherence.
Conclusion
Online STI treatment is an effective component of modern healthcare when international clinical guidelines are strictly followed. Clinical practice shows that up to 60–70% of cases can be safely managed remotely. The most effective approach remains a combined model that integrates telemedicine with in-person care when necessary.
If you have symptoms, suspect an STI, or need a confidential medical consultation, do not delay seeking help.
