Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LGV Assessment Tool?
Our LGV assessment tool is a comprehensive questionnaire that evaluates symptoms, risk factors, and exposure history to help determine if you should seek lymphogranuloma venereum testing. It provides personalized recommendations based on current medical guidelines and clinical protocols.
How accurate is this LGV assessment?
This tool is designed for educational purposes and initial risk assessment only. While based on medical guidelines and clinical evidence, it cannot replace professional medical diagnosis. The assessment helps identify when professional testing is recommended.
What symptoms does this tool check for?
The assessment evaluates common LGV symptoms including rectal inflammation, inguinal lymphadenopathy, genital ulcers, proctitis symptoms, tenesmus, rectal discharge, and exposure history to chlamydia trachomatis L1-L3 serovars.
Is my information kept private?
Yes, all assessment data is processed locally in your browser and is not stored, transmitted, or shared with any servers or third parties. Your privacy and confidentiality are fully protected throughout the assessment process.
What is lymphogranuloma venereum?
LGV is a sexually transmitted infection caused by specific serovars (L1, L2, L3) of Chlamydia trachomatis. It can cause severe inflammation, invasive infection, rectal symptoms, and lymph node swelling if left untreated. It's more severe than typical chlamydia infections.
What should I do if the assessment suggests high risk?
If the assessment indicates high risk, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider or visiting an STI clinic for professional evaluation. LGV is treatable with antibiotics like doxycycline when diagnosed early.
How is LGV treated?
LGV is treated with antibiotics, typically doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 21 days. Alternative treatments include azithromycin or erythromycin. Early treatment prevents complications like rectal strictures and chronic inflammation.
