Hello.A family doctor would be the first place you'd start but be careful choosing your family doctor, I try too choose a family doctor that specializes in internal medicine. Regardless of what STD it is your speaking of, the family doctor will refer you too a doctor that specializes in your condition if it is something more serious. Example: If you have hepatitis or HIV you wouldnt see a family doctor, you'd see a gastrologist, hepatologtist, or internal medicine doctor, and they do have doctors that specialize primarily in infectious disease. For STD'S like HPV (genital warts) you could start at a family doctor and if the condition is advanced they most likely would send the patient, if a male, too a urologist, a female, too a gynocologist and both those medical specialties have great knowledge of all STDS.In closure too this response, I'm very happy too see someone taking the mature, responsible steps too keep themselves safe and healthy regarding STD'S. When you do find yourself a doctor I hope you'll consider getting tested for HIV and hepatitis C, both have no"i got it"symptoms, both are transmitted the same way (except for hep A) they both do their damage quietly, and don't show themselves usually until its done significant damage. So many people are walking around out there and have no idea that they are infected. Thank you for being responsible. Best of luck too you.Anita48367
