Bactrim (Trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole or co-trimoxazole) should not be used for STDs unless prescribed by a doctor in specific cases. It may not be effective at all for some STDs; and in general, it sometimes has serious side effects including liver damage. In addition, there is the problem of advancing antimicrobial resistance to it.
Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa drug. It eliminates bacteria that cause various infections, including infections of the urinary tract, lungs (pneumonia), ears, and intestines. It also is used to treat traveler's diarrhea. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.

Some STD's are viral and would not be affected by this medication.

It depends on the type of STD. Different types of STDs requires different antibiotics so not all antibiotic will work on all STDs. A doctor needs to prescribe the type of antibiotic needed and the dosage. Amoxicillin is used during pregnancy as a distant second choice for treating chlamydia. Normally it is not used for STDs.
Amoxicillin is used as a distant second-choice treatment for chlamydia in pregnant women. Other than that, it is not used for STDs.

Azithromycin is a medicine called a macrolide antibiotic that is used to treat a number of bacterial infections. While it is not recommended for treatment of all sexually transmitted bacterial infections (bacterial STIs), it is commonly prescribed for chancroid, nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. *

Advances in treatment and updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggest a single dose therapy of azithromycin for many bacterial STIs. And in the case of gonorrhea, azithromycin is often paired with another antibiotic to help reduce the incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections.

*

For those who have an STI and are prescribed azithromycin, treatment usually cures the bacterial infection. However, sometimes azithromycin is prescribed alongside treatment for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and in that case, the antibiotic is used to treat bacterial infections, but it cannot cure the HIV infection.

Trimethoprim is not a commonly used antibiotic for typical STDs (e.g., Gonorrhea or Chlamydia), but on the plus side, it can help with urinary tract infections (UTI) sometimes.

Cefixime used to be recommended for gonorrhea, but it is no longer recommended due to drug resistance. It doesn't work reliably for gonorrhea anymore.
