When to see a doctor

Seek care if you notice any of the following

  • If you have a severe headache or stiff neck, go to your nearest clinic or hospital immediately, as these could be signs of a serious infection spreading to your brain.
  • If you notice unusual discharge or bleeding from your vagina or penis, especially if it's heavy or accompanied by a strong smell, go to your nearest clinic or hospital as soon as possible.
  • If you experience severe pain in your lower abdomen, back, or testicles, go to your nearest clinic or hospital right away, as this could be a sign of a serious infection.
  • If you have a fever over 38°C (100.4°F) that lasts for more than two days, go to your nearest clinic or hospital, as this could be a sign of a severe infection.
  • If you notice sores or ulcers on your genitals, anus, or mouth that don't heal after two weeks, go to your nearest clinic or hospital, as these could be signs of a serious STI.
