Individual STD Tests available in Downey, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), frequently occurs from the use of dirty needles, unprotected sexual activity, breast milk, and an infected woman passing it to her unborn child. The CDC has said that about 1.2 million people in the United States have the virus and that a quarter of them do not know they are affected by the virus.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
Early detection of STD exposure is possible if you think you may have been exposed to a STD. Get a recent exposure STD test which can give results even if the exposure occurred as few as 28 days ago. These results will give you the comfort you need and direct you to the medical attention you may require for treatment.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Typically spread through sharing use needles or through sexual contact, Hepatitis B is a contagious disease with many possible side effects. These effects range from a light illness lasting for about a month to an enduring lifelong illness that is much more severe.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
Genital herpes, an STD, is the result of an infection by one of two strains of the herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus 1, typically the cause of oral herpes (in which cold sores or fever blisters infect the lips and mouth), has begun to cause genital herpes in sexually active youth. Herpes simplex virus 2 is the usual culprit of genital herpes. In both cases herpes simplex virus is spread through direct contact with the sores and bodily fluids of an infected individual.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Known to be spread through oral, vaginal and anal sex, syphilis is a common STD. It has a wide range of symptoms that are not easy to isolate from other diseases. Its devastating effects on major organs in the body are not recoverable and can lead to death. However, it is thankfully treatable with penicillin and other antibiotics.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
A disease that is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, hepatitis C frequently shows no obvious symptoms. When the disease is not detected, it may lead to serious liver problems and finally, liver failure. It is believed that about 200 million people globally have this infection.
Chlamydia Test
The sexually transmitted disease known as chlamydia commonly does not have any obvious symptoms. It can go undetected until an STD test discovers it. This disease is generally passed through sexual contact and is in fact the most commonly reported bacterial STD infection in America. The risk of chlamydia is higher the more sexual partners a person has.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a bacteria that grows primarily (but not exclusively) in the reproductive tract and urethra of its host. It often goes untreated, as many of its hosts (10% of men and 50% of women) fail to show any symptoms. Gonorrhea can cause serious problems in both women and men if it is allowed to grow uninhibited.
There are several different STD tests available and by talking to one of our nurses on the phone, you can determine what test is best for you to take. The nurses will ask you questions and provide counsel appropriate for your specific situation. Determining what STD test or tests you need is only the first step in the process. Once you receive your test results, our nurses will counsel you further on what the results mean and what treatments you should undertake.
At our Health Testing Centers, your privacy is a priority to us. We even allow you to test under an assumed name if that makes you more comfortable. We also allow privacy with your test results as they are only sent to you and not put on your permanent health record. You will not get the kind of privacy from a local clinic or doctor’s office. These places will also have you take a physical examination as part of your testing process. We do not put you through this. Your privacy continues as you go to one of our lab locations. We choose labs that perform a multitude of testing, so others cannot guess what kind of test you are there to take. After you have taken your test, you can expect a quick turnaround time and should get the results in a matter of days.
