Individual STD Tests available in Salinas, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The CDC has determined that 1.2 million United States citizens are carrying Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) with about 25% oblivious to their infection. It is a transmittable disease via the following: unprotected sexual activities, sharing used needles, breast milk and an infected woman giving birth to her baby.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
Early testing is critical if you believe you may have been exposed to an STD recently. Recent exposure STD tests can determine if you have an STD, even if it's only been as little as a few weeks from the believe exposure. This testing is critical so that you can immediately seek treatment.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Although some sufferers of Hepatitis B only feel a mild sickness for a few weeks, others will face the disease for a lifetime. Hepatitis B is a contagious disease whose infection is spread via sexual contact and the sharing of used needles and syringes.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
The STD commonly called genital herpes is really an infection of one of the two strains of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has generally only caused oral herpes (“cold sores” and “fever blisters,” colloquially) but has also caused genital herpes among sexually active young people in recent times. Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is still the leading cause of genital herpes, however. Herpes simplex virus can infect new hosts through contact with either the sores or bodily fluids of someone already carrying either strain of the herpes simplex virus.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Like other sexually transmitted diseases, syphilis is spread through sexual contact such as vaginal intercourse or oral sex. Some of its symptoms are easily lost in the symptoms of other diseases, but syphilis can have grim implications such as brain and heart damage. These symptoms can lead to death if not treated with antibiotics.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
With an infection rate standing at 200 million people globally, hepatitis C is an illness not to be taken lightly as it can bring severe harm to the liver. This disease is spread among people via bodily fluid transfusions. Typically, people do not show symptoms, but the disease can be detected and treated before any serious harm occurs.
Chlamydia Test
Although chlamydia is generally asymptomatic, it can be detected through tests. It is in fact the most widely reported bacterial STD in the United States. The disease spreads through sexual contact including vaginal and anal sex. Sexually active individuals are at risk of the disease, especially if they have more than one sexual partner.
Gonorrhea Test
A bacteria, gonorrhea can be a ticking time bomb for its carriers. Often living undetected in the tissues of the reproductive tract, urethra, eyes, mouth, throat, and anus gonorrhea can cause severe problems if it is not treated. One in ten male carriers, and one in two female carriers, is at risk for these problems, as they show no symptoms of the disease.

You can choose to share or not share the results with anyone. If the test is on your health record, it is there for anyone with appropriate access to view.
