Individual STD Tests available in Palm Desert, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The transmittable disease, HIV, is typically spread through
the use of dirty needles, sex without protection, breast milk of an infected mother
fed to her child and the transmission from an infected mother to her baby during
birth. It is believed, according to the CDC, that 1.2 million Americans have the
disease and that nearly a quarter of these are still not yet aware of their infection.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
If you believe you have been exposed to an STD, do not hesitate
in getting a detection test immediately. For exposures from as little as several
weeks prior, Recent Exposure STD Testing can
detect an infection. Early testing through recent exposure testing is paramount
in order to get on track to dealing with the possible exposure with medical assistance.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
A disease transmitted most commonly by sexual contact or sharing
used needles, Hepatitis B is a contagious disease. Typically, those infected will
suffer from a more benign illness lasting a matter or weeks to a more significant
and crippling illness lasting the full duration of their life.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood
Test
Two varieties of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause genital
herpes, an STD. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is the rarer cause of genital herpes;
in times past it only manifested as oral herpes (also identified by the common names
“cold sores” or “fever blisters”) and has only recently begun to give genital herpes,
particularly to sexually active young people. Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is
the historical cause of genital herpes, and is still the cause of genital herpes
among most sufferers. Either strain of HSV can be caught through direct contact
with the sores and fluids of infected people.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR)
Blood Test
Syphilis is a common STD from typical sexual interaction such
as vaginal and anal intercourse. If not treated with antibiotics, the disease can
cause death after doing catastrophic harm to the body's brain, bones, eyes, heart
and other tissues. Some of its symptoms may be similar to the symptoms of other
diseases, making it more difficult to detect.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
A complete failure of the liver is the main fear of the onset
of hepatitis C, a disease that has globally infected about 200 million individuals.
It is a disease that is transmitted from person to person via an exchange of bodily
fluids. It is a disease that rarely presents easy to notice symptoms, but it is
treatable in order to prevent its more serious ill effects.
Chlamydia Test
Frequently, only a STD test can detect the presence of chlamydia,
the most common bacteria STD in the United States. Sexually active people are more
at risk if they have multiple sexual partners as it is spread through sexual activities
such as vaginal, oral and anal sex.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a disease stemming from a bacterial infection
of one of many parts of the body, such as the reproductive tract, urethra, anus,
eyes, throat, or mouth. Since so many of its victims do not show symptoms – half
of all women and a tenth of all men – gonorrhea often goes untreated, causing severe
problems later on when complications from the disease set in.
