Individual STD Tests available in Sacramento, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is most commonly transmitted from human to human 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. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that just over a million Americans are infected and that 25% have not yet been tested and learned of their infection.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
If for whatever reason you think you may have been exposed to an STD, it is important to get testing right away. Recent exposure STD testing will be able to tell quickly if you have infection, even if it has only been as few as 28 days since the infection. This rapid examination through recent exposure STD testing is critical in getting the medical assistant to heal and comfort you.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Those with Hepatitis B may endure a light illness only lasting a matter of weeks or a far more serious illness that stays with them their whole life. This disease is contagious and is usually spread from an infected person via sexual intercourse or the sharing of used syringes and needles.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
An STD, genital herpes is caused by two strains of the herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) usually causes oral herpes (a disease of the lips and mouth also called “cold sores” or “fever blisters”); recently, however, it has begun to cause genital herpes, conspicuously among sexually active young people. Even so, herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is the most common source of genital herpes. The herpes simplex virus is contracted via contact with infected sores or bodily fluids.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious damage to the heart and brain and finally death of the infected person. It is a sexually transmitted disease that, like other diseases of its kind, is passed from person to person via sexual contact. This sexual contact includes oral, anal and vaginal sex. While its symptoms are not always immediately clear and discernible from other diseases, it is a treatable illness.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Hepatitis C is known to show few, if any, obvious symptoms in its sufferers. It is, however, responsible for damage to the liver, but this can be prevented with proper early treatment. At least 200 million people have this disease, which is transmitted through exchanges of bodily fluids among individuals.
Chlamydia Test
Although chlamydia is the most widely reported bacterial STD infection in the United States, it commonly shows no symptoms. Most people will only learn of their infected status after an STD test. This disease is spread through a number of sexual actions like vaginal, oral and anal sex. The more sexual partners an person has, the higher chance they have of getting infected with chlamydia.
Gonorrhea Test
It can be difficult to detect a gonorrhea infection, since it is often asymptomatic in men (10%) and especially in women (50%). The bacteria, which lives in many parts of the body (including the reproductive tract, anus, eyes, mouth, urethra, and throat), can cause alarming problems in both women and men if it is left undetected and thus untreated.
Wondering if you need to be tested for an STD can be scary. However, our nurses can answer your questions and help put you at ease. Because there are so many STD tests available, our nurses will take time to find out your specific situation and help you determine what test or tests will be best for you. The nurses are also available to help you understand the results of your tests. If you need treatment, they will guide you through the options to help you decide what is best for you.
We recognize the need for privacy in these kinds of situations. Because of this, your test results are kept confidential and are not made part of your health record. If you were to go to a doctor’s office or clinic for testing, your STD test results would be on your medical record forever. A doctor’s office or clinic will also encourage you to have a physical exam, something that we don’t require as part of our testing process. In recognizing privacy, we also allow clients to have their testing done under an alias. We take the privacy issue one step further by having the blood tests performed at laboratories that offer multiple services. This way, when you walk through their doors, no one can figure out what kind of test you are there for. Once your test is completed, you don’t have to wait forever for the results. In most cases you will know your test results in two to three days.
