HIV Blood Test
Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, can be spread through unprotected sex, used needles, an infected mother to her child at birth and from a woman's breast milk. The Centers for Disease Control says that an estimated 1.2 million people in the United States have HIV/AIDS and of those, 25% are unaware that they are infected.

If you have reason to think you may have been exposed to an STD, it is vital to your health to get a test fast. Testing through Recent Exposure STD tests can find an infection in just under a month since the believed exposure. Rapid results are necessary in order to get peace of mind and treatment.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
A contagious disease, Hepatitis B can range in severity from a weak and easy to recover from illness lasting a mere few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. Hepatitis B infection can occur through sexual contact or through the sharing of used needles and syringes.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
Genital herpes is a venereal disease caused by the two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) usually manifests as oral herpes, an illness of the oral region, called "cold sores" or "fever blisters". Usually HSV-1 doesn't cause genital herpes, but recently sexually active youth are developing genital herpes from HSV-1. However, genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). The herpes simplex virus is passed along by touching infected sores or contact with infected bodily fluids.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
The STD known as Syphilis is spread from an infected person via vaginal, anal or oral sex. Its symptoms are varied and frequently not distinguishable from other illnesses. If not treated properly, the disease can cause severe damage to the brain, heart, eyes and other crucial body tissues. Syphilis can be fatal. But, it is a disease that can be treated with a proper antibiotics program.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Hepatitis C comes from transmitting from exchanging bodily fluids, as through sex and other activities. Those infected frequently show few symptoms. It is a disease that can be treated if caught early before it leads to serious side effects like liver damage and finally, liver failure. Over 200 million people are infected with this disease.
Chlamydia Test
The most common bacterial STD in the United States, chlamydia can be spread through oral, vaginal or anal intercourse. Most people are unaware they have the disease as they may not notice they have any symptoms. Detection is frequently only found through STD testing. Sexually active individuals could be infected with chlamydia with their risk higher depending on how many partners they have.
Gonorrhea Test
A bacteria, gonorrhea grows in the reproductive tract, urethra, anus, mouth, throat, and eyes. People often don't know they have gonorrhea; 50% of females and 10% of males are asymptomatic. Men and women both can experience serious problems if gonorrhea is untreated.
Wondering if you need to be tested for an STD can be scary. However, our nurses can answer your questions and help put you at ease. Because there are so many STD tests available, our nurses will take time to find out your specific situation and help you determine what test or tests will be best for you. The nurses are also available to help you understand the results of your tests. If you need treatment, they will guide you through the options to help you decide what is best for you.
We recognize the need for privacy in these kinds of situations. Because of this, your test results are kept confidential and are not made part of your health record. If you were to go to a doctor’s office or clinic for testing, your STD test results would be on your medical record forever. A doctor’s office or clinic will also encourage you to have a physical exam, something that we don’t require as part of our testing process. In recognizing privacy, we also allow clients to have their testing done under an alias. We take the privacy issue one step further by having the blood tests performed at laboratories that offer multiple services. This way, when you walk through their doors, no one can figure out what kind of test you are there for. Once your test is completed, you don’t have to wait forever for the results. In most cases you will know your test results in two to three days.
