What is an STD?
STDs, or Sexually Transmitted Diseases, are infections transmitted through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and affect individuals of all genders, ages, and sexual orientations. Common examples include HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. At our clinic, we understand the stigma surrounding STDs. That’s why our services are designed to provide education, support, and confidential testing. Early detection and treatment can help prevent complications and promote overall health.

What STDs can be tested with a blood test?
Blood tests are one of the most effective ways to detect certain STDs,
including:
- HIV: Detects antigens and antibodies to identify early or long-term infections.
- Syphilis: Identifies antibodies linked to the infection, even in early stages.
- Hepatitis B and C: Checks for viruses affecting liver health.
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): Blood tests may confirm exposure to HSV.
Our medical professionals will guide you through selecting the right test based on your symptoms and concerns. We ensure your privacy is protected every
step of the way
How long does it take to get STD test results?
The time it takes to receive results varies by test type:
- Rapid Tests: Available for some conditions, such as HIV, providing results within 20–30 minutes.
- Lab-Processed Tests: Most blood test results are delivered within 1-3 business days.
Our clinic offers discreet communication methods, so you can receive your results confidentially and securely.
How often should I get tested for STDs?
Regular testing depends on your lifestyle and risk factors. Here are general recommendations:
- Annually: For individuals in long-term, monogamous relationships.
- Every 3-6 Months: For individuals with multiple partners or engaging in high-risk activities.
- After Unprotected Sex: Immediate testing is recommended if a condom wasn’t used.
- During Pregnancy: Testing is crucial for the health of both the parent
and baby.
By prioritizing regular testing, you not only safeguard your health but also help reduce the stigma surrounding STDs by normalizing the conversation.
What should I do before an STD test to ensure the most accurate
results?
To prepare for your test:
- Avoid urinating at least 1 hour before a urine-based test.
- Follow any fasting requirements for specific blood tests.
- Inform our staff of any medications or supplements you are taking.
- Schedule your test at the appropriate time based on exposure. For example, HIV tests are most accurate 1–3 weeks after potential exposure.
Our supportive team will ensure you feel comfortable and prepared for your appointment.
