Individual STD Tests available in Palo Alto, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The Centers for Disease Control have stated that of the 1.2
million Americans who are believed to be infected with HIV, just under a quarter
of them do not know it. HIV, a transmittable disease, is frequently passed from
person to person via unprotected sexual encounters, breast milk, an infected woman
giving birth to her child and the sharing of used needles.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
If there is a chance you have recently been exposed to a possible
STD, seek testing as soon as you are able. A recent exposure STD test offers results
even if the exposure was believed to have been as few as 28 days prior. Testing
is strongly recommended in order to get the medical attention you need right away
and to ease your worries.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
The prognosis of Hepatitis B can vary from a short illness
lasting a couple of weeks to a more difficult and chronic version lasting a lifetime.
This contagious disease is commonly transmitted via sexual contact among an infected
person to another or from the sharing of used needles and syringes.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood
Test
Genital herpes, an STD, is the result of an infection by two
different kinds of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)
commonly causes oral herpes (an infection of the lips and mouth) but can also cause
genital herpes, as has recently been shown among groups of sexually active young
people. However, herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is still the leading cause of genital
herpes. In both cases genital herpes is transmitted via direct contact with the
sores or body secretions of a carrier.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR)
Blood Test
A common STD, syphilis, must not be left untreated or it could
lead to the death of the infected person. This disease is passed from the infected
person to another through sexual means like oral and penetrative sexual contact.
It is not always easy to detect as some of its symptoms may be shared with other
diseases. Antibiotics can treat the sufferer in order to prevent some of the most
grave side effects like brain and heart damage.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Even without the presence of the symptoms of illness, hepatitis
C can wreak damage through a person's body, particularly in their liver. Reportedly,
the disease has infected about 200 million people across the planet. The disease
spreads from the infected to others through exchanges of bodily fluids. Early treatment
is possible and is necessary in order to prevent serious liver damage.
Chlamydia Test
As a disease that generally shows no symptoms, chlamydia can
generally only be found through an STD test. Chlamydia is transferred from an infected
person to another via sexual contact like vaginal intercourse. The more sexual partners
a person has, the higher chance that person has of becoming infected. It is the
most frequently reported bacterial STD in the United States of America.
Gonorrhea Test
A large percentage of gonorrhea carriers (50% of women, 10%
of men) do not show any noticeable symptoms of this particular disease. Because
of that, gonorrhea – a bacteria which thrives in the reproductive tract, urethra,
anus, eyes, mouth, or throat – often goes undetected. This can lead to serious concerns
if the disease is not found and treated.
When you call for information about our STD testing services, you will talk to one
of our nurses who will ask questions to determine what kind of test you may need.
If you are worried about your circumstances, they should be able to put you at ease
with what you are facing. Our nurses will also be there to help you understand the
test results that you receive and to counsel you on any treatment options.
If you don’t want your STD test results to become part of your medical history,
you will want to use our Health Testing Centers. We are able to offer the privacy
that isn’t available from a doctor or clinic. We even give you the option of using
an alias when you come for testing. Another benefit of our services is we won’t
make you have a physical. For our testing services, we utilize lab locations that
offer more than just SDT testing. This way you are able to go for a test without
worrying that everyone knows the reason for you being there. After your testing
is complete, you can expect to get your results in just two or three days.
