After a person is treated for a sexually transmitted infection (STI), what should be the next step?

After treatment for an STI, follow-up medical checkups help confirm the infection has cleared and identify any complications or reinfection. The correct choice is “Go to the doctor for regular checkups.” Take medication exactly as prescribed, but simply continuing it is not a substitute for follow-up; partners should also be informed and treated when needed.
