hello,

This sounds more like a UTI than an STD. Common symptoms are urgency to pee and that burning sensation. If there is blood in her urine, I think she should go to an urgent care centre, or emergency dep. of the hospital. If she is over 16 she can go by herself to a gyno, but you may need a referal, so its probably just easier to go to the hospital. and no, they wont know that she has had sex, if all she does is a urine test, which I would start with. Whenever I get a UTI I just go to the hospital and then tell them thats what I think it is, and they know i've had sex, but all they do is a urine test, because its fast and simple. in the mean time, drink lots of cranberry juice! its the best things for UTI's.
