Individual STD Tests available in Monterey, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The Centers for Disease Control have reported that about 1.2
million American citizens are infected with HIV and that nearly quarter of them
are uninformed that they are infected. Human Immunodeficiency Virus, also known
as HIV can be spread through the sharing of dirty needles, unprotected sexual activities,
breast milk and an infected woman passing the disease to her child at birth.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
Seek early testing for a possible STD infection if you have
reason to believe you've been exposed. Even if the exposure was as few as 28 days
prior, a recent Exposure STD test will be able to give you the results you're looking
for. Through this results of this test, you can quickly begin the recovery process.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Sexual contact with an infected person or sharing a contaminated
needle can lead to a Hepatitis B infection. The disease's effects range from a lifelong
illness to a far milder version that lasts only a matter of weeks.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood
Test
The two strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV) are the cause
of the STD known as genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) typically causes
oral herpes (also called “cold sores” or “fever blisters”) but it has also started
to cause genital herpes among the more sexually active young adults. Nevertheless,
most genital herpes is still caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). You can catch
herpes simplex virus through direct contact with either an infected sore or the
bodily secretions of an infected individual.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR)
Blood Test
Although syphilis is thankfully a treatable STD, if left untreated
it can have grave effects on the infected person. Syphilis is transmitted through
various sexual means including vaginal and anal intercourse. Its symptoms are varied
and not always easy to distinguish from another illness. It has the potential to
lead to severe damage to many organs if left unchecked, but a proper course of antibiotics
can prevent that damage.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Although nearly 200 million are infected with hepatitis C,
some may not know it as the disease is frequently asymptomatic. It can, however,
have serious effects on one's body in the form of liver damage. The disease is believed
to be spread through the exchange of bodily fluids.
Chlamydia Test
Most types of sexual activity, including penetrative and oral
sex, can transmit the most common bacterial STD in the United States, chlamydia.
This particular infection generally shows little or no symptoms, leaving those infected
to be in the dark until a STD test is given. Sexually active people are at risk
of this STD, especially if they have more than one partner.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a bacteria which plants itself in the orifices
of the human body, such as: the reproductive tract, the urethra, the anus, the mouth,
the throat, and the eyes. Its hosts often do not show any signs that they have the
disease, and so as many as 10% of infected males and 50% of infected females do
not know they have gonorrhea. Without treatment, the sufferer of a gonorrhea infection
can be at serious risk of further illness.

help you decide if you should come in for testing. Talking to them can help ease
your fear and anxiety. Since there are many forms of testing available, they can
assist you in determining what test or tests are right for your circumstance. This
however, is just part of what they do. After you have been tested and receive your

mean and guide you through any treatment that may be needed.
