Individual STD Tests available in Petaluma, CA:
HIV Blood Test
Human Immunodeficiency Virus, known as HIV commonly, is usually transmitted between individuals by used needles, unprotected sexual activity, a woman with the infection passing it to her unborn child and from an infected woman nursing her child. The CDC has found that roughly 1.2 million Americans have the infection and that probably a quarter of them are still in the dark about their status.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
Testing is available if you are worried about a possible STD exposure. A recent exposure STD test is available to offer answers, even if the exposure was as few as 28 days ago. These results from the recent exposure STD test will offer peace of mind as you get the medical treatment you need.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Hepatitis B, a contagious disease, has effects that range from a severe lifelong illness to a milder version that lasts only a matter of weeks. This disease is most commonly spread through the use of contaminated and used needles or through sexual contact with someone who is already infected.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
Historically herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has only caused oral herpes, an infection of the mouth and lips colloquially called “cold sores” or “fever blisters,” but recently it has begun giving sexually active young people genital herpes, an STD. Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is the more traditional cause of genital herpes. Both strains can cause genital herpes, and in both cases are transmitted by exposure to the sores and bodily fluids of an infected person.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Though its symptoms frequently are not distinguishable from other illness, syphilis is disease with the potential for irreparable harm. It is spread through oral, anal and vaginal sex. It can cause permanent damage to the brain, eyes, heart, nerves, bones and other tissues of the body. It is in fact treatable with antibiotics.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Across the globe, it is reported that about 200 million people are infected with hepatitis C, a disease transferred via bodily fluids. Many people may not even know they are infected as it frequently shows no symptoms. When left untreated, it can complicate processes of the liver and ultimately lead to a shut down of the liver.
Chlamydia Test
Chlamydia, the most reported bacterial STD infection in the United States, is transmitted sexually through vaginal, anal or oral sex. The risk of chlamydia in a sexually active person rises with more sexual partners. Frequently, chlamydia is only detected through testing as infected people often show no symptoms.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a bacteria which grows within the reproductive tract, anus, urethra, throat, mouth, and eyes of its host. As so many of its carriers show no symptoms – as many as 10% of all males and 50% of all females – this bacteria is often left to grow unimpeded. If this happens, the host can suffer serious side-effects.
Our nurses are just a phone call away and can talk to you about what STD testing services you may need. Because there are different tests available, they will ask questions about your situation to determine what STD test you should take. Our nurses are also there for you when you get the results from your testing. They are trained to explain these results and to guide you through any recommended treatments.
The biggest benefit we offer with our Health Testing Services over those offered by clinics or doctors is that of privacy. When you are tested, the results are for your eyes only and are not recorded on your permanent medical history. If you want, you can even use an alias when testing. Your privacy continues as you go to the lab for your STD blood tests. There are labs that only perform these kinds of tests, but we don’t use them because everyone knows what you are there for. Our lab locations offer a variety of medical testing, making it virtually impossible for anyone to determine why you are there. You should receive your test results within days of taking your test. Another benefit we offer is we do not require that you have a physical examination as part of your testing process.
