As there is quite a bit of technical medical terminology that comes with STD testing, the below guide should help you understand all that comes with your test and results.
Acute
An acute illness or symptom is one that has a very quick lifecycle - it not only onsets quickly,

Antibodies
Antibodies are proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids,

When a disease or virus enters the body, your immune system produces these antibodies which can help to neutralize the infection.
Antigen
An antigen is a molecule that binds itself to an antibody, helping to stimulate the production of additional antibodies and, ultimately,

Chronic
An acute medical condition can mean two things: either that the illness developed slowly, or that the illness is a long-lasting and recurring condition. Chronic diseases are recurrent and therefore relapse repeatedly, with periods of remission in between each onset.
Condom
A condom is a latex barrier device used during ######ual intercourse,

Treatment
While some STDs can actually be cured, there are others that can only be treated and never fully cured. For example, there is currently no cure for Herpes, yet there are several treatments available (such as Valtrex) which can help minimize the number of outbreaks and their severity.
