Frequently Asked Questions

What is STI testing?

STI testing involves screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to detect the presence of these infections in the body. Testing can be done through various methods, including urine tests, blood tests, and swab tests.

Who should consider getting tested for STIs?

Anyone who is sexually active or has engaged in sexual activity with a new partner should consider getting tested for STIs. Regular testing is especially important for individuals with multiple sexual partners or those who engage in unprotected sex.

What STIs are typically tested for?

Common STIs that are often included in routine testing panels include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV).

How often should I get tested for STIs?

The frequency of STI testing depends on your sexual activity and risk factors. It's recommended to get tested at least once a year for STIs, or more frequently if you have multiple sexual partners or engage in high-risk sexual behavior.

What happens during an STI testing appointment?

During an STI testing appointment, a healthcare provider will collect a sample of urine, blood, or genital swab, depending on the specific tests being conducted. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis, and results are typically available within a few days.

Is STI testing confidential?

Yes, STI testing is confidential. Your privacy is protected, and all testing services are conducted in a confidential and non-judgmental environment. Your personal information and test results are kept confidential and secure.

What should I do if my STI test results are positive?

If your STI test results are positive, it's essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. Your healthcare provider will discuss treatment options with you and may provide additional guidance on notifying sexual partners and preventing further transmission.

Are there any symptoms of STIs that I should watch out for?

Some STIs may cause symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain or burning during urination, genital sores or ulcers, itching or irritation in the genital area, and flu-like symptoms. However, many STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning they do not cause any noticeable symptoms. Regular testing is crucial, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms.
