Individual STD Tests available in Rancho Mirage, CA:
HIV Blood Test
Though the Center for Disease Control (CDC) believes that just over a million Americans are infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), nearly 25% of that number are not even aware that they are infected. HIV is ordinarily spread from person to person through the following actions: sex without protection, infected breast milk, contaminated needles, milk from a nursing mother who is infected and an infected woman to her unborn child at birth.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
If you fear a possible STD exposure, you can get a recent exposure STD test to put your mind at ease. Recent Exposure STD Testing allows patients to find out if they are infected, even if the exposure was a mere 28 days ago. This STD test will offer results to assist you in getting the answers you need in order to seek treatment for the exposure.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Hepatitis B can cause those infected with the contagious disease to suffer a range of symptoms from a short illness lasting approximately a month to a more severe illness lasting a lifetime. This disease is transmittable by sexual activity with an infected individual or the sharing of used needles and syringes.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
A venereal disease, genital herpes is known to stem from an infection by the herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has in the past only caused oral herpes, an infection of the lip and mouth also called “cold sores” or “fever blisters.” Recently this has changed, and it has begun to infect people, especially sexually active young people, with genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is the common cause of genital herpes. Contact with infected fluids or sores can cause the herpes simplex virus to spread from person to person.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Syphilis is spread through sexual interactions such as vaginal, anal and oral sex. Its more common symptoms are not easy to distinguish from other diseases, but it has the possibility of doing great harm to a person's body. When it is left unchecked, the disease can ravage the brain and heart. Penicillin can prevent this serious damage from happening.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
In order to prevent damage to the liver, the hallmark of hepatitis C, early treatment needs to begin as soon as the disease is detected. Hepatitis C commonly does not reveal other obvious symptoms and is thought to spread from exchanges of bodily fluids from person to person. It has been reported that nearly 200 million people are infected with hepatitis C.
Chlamydia Test
A sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia generally does not present itself in the body with any obvious symptoms. Most individuals will only discover their infection after testing. Chlamydia is actually the most frequently found bacterial STD in the United States with people having an increased risk the more sexual partners they have. Chlamydia is spread through various types of sex, including vaginal, anal and oral sex.
Gonorrhea Test
Men and women both are at risk from an untreated gonorrhea infection. Caused by a bacteria living in several area of the human body (such as the eyes, throat, mouth, anus, urethra, and reproductive tract), this disease can cause serious and grave problems if it is left untreated. Unfortunately, up to 10% of male carriers and 50% of female carriers show no symptoms of the disease and often fail to seek treatment.
There are several different STD tests available and by talking to one of our nurses on the phone, you can determine what test is best for you to take. The nurses will ask you questions and provide counsel appropriate for your specific situation. Determining what STD test or tests you need is only the first step in the process. Once you receive your test results, our nurses will counsel you further on what the results mean and what treatments you should undertake.
At our Health Testing Centers, your privacy is a priority to us. We even allow you to test under an assumed name if that makes you more comfortable. We also allow privacy with your test results as they are only sent to you and not put on your permanent health record. You will not get the kind of privacy from a local clinic or doctor’s office. These places will also have you take a physical examination as part of your testing process. We do not put you through this. Your privacy continues as you go to one of our lab locations. We choose labs that perform a multitude of testing, so others cannot guess what kind of test you are there to take. After you have taken your test, you can expect a quick turnaround time and should get the results in a matter of days.
