chlamydia and ghonnorhea help

At the end of May/start of June i had unprotected sex with the biggest mistake of my life.I got checked out at my doctors a few weeks later as i thought i had thrush.She told me i had TV,so she gave me the treatment and everything was fine. I then had unprotected sex again which was very stupid,not with the same person tho,an ex partner. I then knew i had something again, i suspected that it was the TV again so i went to get checked out at the GUM clinic. I got the results of some tests back and it was TV again so she gave me the treatment.I got a phonecall today to say i also have chlamydia and ghonnorhea. I am absolutely devastated. I just wanted to know how long i would need to have had them,for it to do any harm regarding having kids, and what else it may have done to me.im going to get the treatment tomorrow but i cant wait till then.i need answers now i feel so disgusted with myself. please help

yh TV is trich, i went today to get the treatment.iv taken the pills for the gono, got to wait till tomorrow to take the chlamydia tablets, and still taking the trich tablets.hope fully everything will be sorted.
i told my boyfriend that i just found out i have them, we only recently had sex and iv been with him for around a month, even though we used condoms i told him and hes going to get checked out just to be sure.

Look, std's are illnesses-if you caught a cold from kissing would you hate yourself?  That is all an STD- is an illness that is caused by physical contact- yes a certain kind of physical contact,but that is it.  You had sex and got sick.  You did the right thing and got treated- now protect yourself in the future and move on.

What is TV?  Trich?

You got lucky, in a way.  You are learning about condoms and testing very young.  Sure, you had to learn the hard way, but you have got the lesson now.

Do not have unprotected sex with someone that you don't trust 100%, and don't have unprotected sex until you've seen their test results.

Unfortunately, part of having sex means taking the responsibility for having the STD talk.

I hope you are letting your partners know they need to be tested and treated.

Everyone makes mistakes in life. The key is to have a clear head and clear heart. This will help you make better decisions.

If you want to have sex always carry condoms. When I was 18 and in college I was having sex without protection and by the grace of God I did not catch anything. So I know being young you make poor decisions. But don't let this get you down, it may sound dumb but look in the mirror each morning and say to yourself that you are a good person and you will make good decisions. Think positive and act positive.

Also if you want pick up the bible and attend church. You can talk to God anytime you want, he is always listening.

thanx.i suppose your right.i just feel like iv let myself down.iv had 3 STDs and im only 18.and iv got them all at once.
im just worried about the damage it could have done.if i caught it from who i think it was then iv had it roughly for about 2 months.but its just confusing because when i found out i had the TV in June,the chlamydia test came out clear, and when i got tested last week, now the chlamydia test has came out positive.
i dont suppose it matters aslong as i get it treated.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Just learn to make better choices in the future. I often do something and regret it later on and beat myself up over it for days. Hell I even posted a question on here because of a drunkin decision I made. Get the treatment that the Dr orders and you will be ok. Just tell yourself that you are doing the right thing by getting treatment and you are better for it. The medicine will cure what you have and you will be ok afterwards.

With all of that said I am not a Dr, but the mind is the strongest weapon our body has and we often turn it against ourselves when we know we have made a poor choice inour life.
