What Is STD Testing?
STD testing is done to ensure that you do not have any sexually transmitted diseases. As part of your sexual health, undergo an STD test when you change partners or become sexually active for the first time. STD testing is an important part of your sexual health; it not only protects you, but it also protects your partner from getting seriously sick.
DoctorMeNow offers STD testing for its patients to help promote a healthy body and peace of mind. Our team is compassionate and encourages you to ask questions, share concerns, and seek help.
What Happens During an STD Test?
STD testing is quick and painless. Depending on the type of STD concern, our specialists will recommend the right test for you. These tests may include:
- Urine test
- Cheek swab
- Blood test
- A physical exam to check your genital areas for warts, sores, rashes, or signs of irritation
- Using a swab to obtain discharge or cell samples from your genitals, anus, cervix, or throat.
How Will I Know What STD Testing I Need?
When you request an STD test from DoctorMeNow, our caring healthcare professionals will discuss with you your sexual history, symptoms, and if you or a partner ever had an STD. Being open and honest with the staff allows them to determine the appropriate test and action. We are here to help you, not judge you.
How Long Does It Take to Receive Results?
Depending on the type of testing you receive, our doctors may be able to give you your results immediately or it may take a week. For most HIV testing, you should be able to get your results within a day.
What Happens If I Have an STD?
If our tests come back positive for an STD, we will work with you to figure out the best course of action for treatment. Remember, you are certainly not alone. Most STDs can be managed or cured with medication, allowing you to live a happy normal life.
