Individual STD Tests available in Alameda, CA:
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.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
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.
If you think you may need an STD test, give us a call. Our nurses are on hand to discuss the various STD tests that are available. They are trained to walk you through what you need to know and determine if you need to be tested. By asking questions and finding out about your situation, they will tell you what test(s) you should get done. After you have been tested, our nurses are still there for you to discuss your results with you. If treatment is needed, they will inform you about the best course for you to follow.
Our Health Testing Centers follow a strict code of confidentiality. You may choose to come here under an alias, or you can always use your own name. This is different from a doctor’s office or clinic you may go to. When you get tested at one of these, you are tested under your own name and the test and the results become part of your permanent medical record. Another difference is that we do not require a physical exam as part of your testing process. If you go to a clinic or doctor’s office, you will most likely be subject to a physical. The results of your test are completely private when using our services. You are the only one who knows the results, unless you choose to share them with someone else. Because the labs that do our testing are also used for other tests, no one will be able to guess the reason for your visit. Our services are quick and you can expect to know the outcome of your tests within three working days.
