STD Testing Q &A

What is STD testing?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that you contract through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person.

Because you can have an STD without any symptoms until the condition progresses, the team at Cali Quick Urgent Care offers on-site STD testing services. They recommend that anyone who is sexually active receives regular STD screenings, especially if you have unprotected sex or engage in sex with multiple partners.

Some common STDs include:

  • Chlamydia
  • Herpes
  • Syphilis
  • Gonorrhea
  • Hepatitis
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

If left undiagnosed and untreated, STDs can cause long-term health issues and infertility. You can also unknowingly spread the disease to others.

What is involved in STD testing?

The team at Cali Quick Urgent Care can determine which STD tests you need based on your existing health, your lifestyle, and your sexual history. Testing may involve:

  • Blood test
  • Urine test
  • Mouth swab
  • Genital swab

If you have visible sores in your mouth or on your skin, the team can take a sample of fluid or skin cells for further evaluation under a microscope.

Based on the results of your testing, the providers can create a treatment plan to clear the infection and reduce your risk of spreading it to others.

How are STDs treated?

Treatment for STDs typically involves medications. The providers at Cali Quick Urgent Care can prescribe the medications based on the type of infection you have.

If you have bacterial infections like syphilis, gonorrhea, or chlamydia, you may need a course of antibiotics to clear it. It’s important that you take all of your medicine to ensure the infection goes away completely. You also need to avoid sexual activity until seven days after your treatment ends.

Viral infections like herpes and HIV require antiviral medications. However, even with this treatment, you may still be able to spread the disease to others. It’s important that you follow your doctor’s recommendations and use condoms every time you have sex to prevent the infection from spreading.

The team at Cali Quick Urgent Care can also provide resources to help you contact recent sexual partners about also getting tested for STDs.

To schedule confidential STD testing, call Cali Quick Urgent Care or book a consultation online today.
