STD and STI Testing and Treatment

Most sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms at all. That is exactly why testing matters. It is also why waiting until something feels wrong is the wrong plan. We test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. We also evaluate symptoms such as discharge, burning with urination, pelvic or testicular pain, sores, and unexplained rashes.

You do not need an appointment. You do not need to explain yourself. Walk in and tell the front desk you are here for testing. You will be seen like any other patient. Your visit and your results are protected health information. They are handled the same way as every other medical record here.

Several tests give results during the visit. Others come back from the laboratory within a few days. We contact you either way, even when everything is negative. Where treatment is indicated, we start it the same day. For some infections, we can treat on suspicion rather than make you wait for confirmation. We will also talk through partner notification and retesting. That is because treating one person and not the other is how reinfection happens.

The CDC recommends routine screening for sexually active people, even without symptoms. How often depends on age, pregnancy and risk. If you are not sure what applies to you, that talk is part of the visit. Testing after a specific exposure has its own timing, because some infections are not detectable right away. We will tell you when to come back. We will not give you a result that cannot mean anything yet.

Testing should be easy to get and easy to get quickly. We are open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., no appointment needed, with on-site laboratory services so most of the work happens in one visit. If you would rather start the conversation from home, our virtual care visits can begin the process and arrange the testing you need.
