STD Care in Kathmandu — Complete Management The Complete Pathway — the Test, the Treatment, the Partner Care, the Follow-Up

STD Care — the Complete Pathway

STD care is complete pathway — not just test — detection plus treatment plus partner care plus follow-up, at same confidential service: correctly-matched testing finds infection, organism-matched treatment resolves it, partner care prevents reinfection, and follow-up confirms outcome.

The complete-pathway framing is point: test alone is a result; care is detection plus resolution — a positive test without treatment is unfinished service; complete pathway is detection that becomes cure or management.

The same-service completeness is value — test that leads to treatment that leads to partner care at same visit — complete management rather than fragmented referrals.

The Testing — the Correct Methods

The care begins with correct testing: site-matched NAAT (the ~85–90% extragenital urine-only misses), serologies (HIV 4th-gen ~2–4wk, syphilis two-test ~3–12wk, hepatitis), lesion PCR (~2–12d acute herpes) — correct test on correct specimen at correct timing.

The testing is detection layer — care being complete pathway that follows: finding leading to management, not just finding.

The Treatment — Organism-Matched

The treatment is organism-matched: curable infections cured ( chlamydia doxycycline, gonorrhea ceftriaxone, syphilis penicillin, trichomoniasis metronidazole), chronic infections managed ( herpes antivirals, the HIV the ART — U=U, the HBV suppression or monitoring, the HCV the DAA ~95%+ cure).

The complete care is detection that becomes resolution — positive test leading to treatment at same visit, curable cured, chronic managed.

The Partner Care — the Reinfection Prevention

The partner care is reinfection prevention: partners are tested site-matched and treated — untreated partner is commonest reinfection — same-exposure partner producing the "ping-pong" reinfection where only one is treated.

The partner notification is handled confidentially — routes that notify without direct exposure ( confidential notification where disclosure is concern) — partner managed where reinfection would otherwise continue.

The Follow-Up — the Monitoring & the Retest

The follow-up: retest where indicated (the ~3-month retest for reinfection risk — the ~10% where partner is untreated or ongoing exposure continues), test-of-cure where indicated ( pharyngeal gonorrhea — doxycycline-preferred where pharyngeal), titer follow-up for syphilis (the ~4-fold drop — cure confirmed), and ongoing management for chronic (the HIV monitoring ~3–6mo, herpes suppressive where recurrent).

The follow-up is monitoring layer — outcome confirmed, reinfection caught, chronic managed — care extending past test-and-treat.
