General Questions About STD/STI Testing
Why should I get tested for STDs & STIs?
Regular STD testing is essential for maintaining your sexual health. Many STDs and STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning you might not notice any signs or symptoms. Testing ensures early detection and treatment, preventing complications and protecting your partners.
How often should I get tested?
The frequency of testing depends on your sexual activity and risk factors. The CDC recommends annual testing for sexually active individuals, while those with multiple partners or higher risk should consider more frequent testing. Learn more at the CDC’s Testing Guidelines.
Is STD testing confidential?
Yes, your privacy is our priority. All tests and results are handled with complete discretion. No one will have access to your information without your consent.
How long does it take to get results?
Most of our test results are available within 24 to 48 hours. For specific tests, such as syphilis or herpes, results may take slightly longer.
