Individual STD Tests available in Sebastopol, 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.
Do you think you have an STD and don’t know where to turn? Call our Health Testing Services and speak to one of our nurses. They will counsel you and let you know what different STD testing services are available. As they understand your situation by the questions they ask, they will be able to recommend the test or combination of STD tests you should have done. Our caring nurses are available after you receive your results to help you understand what they mean. If by chance treatment is recommended, they can guide you through this process.
Being tested for an STD should be a private process. However, you will not receive privacy if you choose to go to a local doctor or clinic. They are required to put your test results on your permanent medical record. We do not have to do this and send the results directly to you. You do not have to share them with anyone if you choose not to. When you go to the lab to get tested, your privacy is still intact. We only work with lab locations that offer a variety of testing services. This makes it impossible for others to figure out why you are there. Often a doctor or clinic will require you to undergo a complete physical as part of your STD testing. We do not require this; all you have to do with us is submit to a blood test. After your testing is completed, you should expect to know your results in three days.
