STD Testing

We can help you

  • Find out if you have a sexually transmitted disease (STD)

How it works

In order to diagnose and treat an STD, your doctor will take a detailed sexual history, conduct a thorough physical examination, and order several laboratory tests, including a test for HIV. Your doctor will also provide you with detailed information to prevent transmission of your STD to any of your sexual partner(s). Most physicians urge patients to tell their sex partners if they have an STD so that their partners can seek medical attention. People who are diagnosed with an STD may be contacted by public health professionals in order to assure that their sex partners are counseled, evaluated, and treated.
