Individual STD Tests available in Torrance, CA:
HIV Blood Test
The Centers for Disease Control have reported that about 1.2 million American citizens are infected with HIV and that nearly quarter of them are uninformed that they are infected. Human Immunodeficiency Virus, also known as HIV can be spread through the sharing of dirty needles, unprotected sexual activities, breast milk and an infected woman passing the disease to her child at birth.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
Seek early testing for a possible STD infection if you have reason to believe you've been exposed. Even if the exposure was as few as 28 days prior, a recent Exposure STD test will be able to give you the results you're looking for. Through this results of this test, you can quickly begin the recovery process.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Sexual contact with an infected person or sharing a contaminated needle can lead to a Hepatitis B infection. The disease's effects range from a lifelong illness to a far milder version that lasts only a matter of weeks.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
The two strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV) are the cause of the STD known as genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) typically causes oral herpes (also called “cold sores” or “fever blisters”) but it has also started to cause genital herpes among the more sexually active young adults. Nevertheless, most genital herpes is still caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). You can catch herpes simplex virus through direct contact with either an infected sore or the bodily secretions of an infected individual.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Although syphilis is thankfully a treatable STD, if left untreated it can have grave effects on the infected person. Syphilis is transmitted through various sexual means including vaginal and anal intercourse. Its symptoms are varied and not always easy to distinguish from another illness. It has the potential to lead to severe damage to many organs if left unchecked, but a proper course of antibiotics can prevent that damage.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Although nearly 200 million are infected with hepatitis C, some may not know it as the disease is frequently asymptomatic. It can, however, have serious effects on one's body in the form of liver damage. The disease is believed to be spread through the exchange of bodily fluids.
Chlamydia Test
Most types of sexual activity, including penetrative and oral sex, can transmit the most common bacterial STD in the United States, chlamydia. This particular infection generally shows little or no symptoms, leaving those infected to be in the dark until a STD test is given. Sexually active people are at risk of this STD, especially if they have more than one partner.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a bacteria which plants itself in the orifices of the human body, such as: the reproductive tract, the urethra, the anus, the mouth, the throat, and the eyes. Its hosts often do not show any signs that they have the disease, and so as many as 10% of infected males and 50% of infected females do not know they have gonorrhea. Without treatment, the sufferer of a gonorrhea infection can be at serious risk of further illness.
If you think you may need to have STD testing performed, call our Health Testing Services. We have highly trained nurses available to speak with you over the phone and answer any questions you may have. They will ask questions to find about your situation to determine which if any STD tests you may need. This is just the first step that our nurses will help you through. If you need testing, they are available to counsel you regarding your test results and can guide you as to what treatment options are best for you to follow.
One of our goals is to provide privacy and confidentiality to our clients. Unlike a doctor’s office or clinic, we keep your test results private. They do not become part of your permanent health record, but are sent directly to you. No one else will find out the results unless you tell them. Many of our clients choose to test under an alias and we are fine with that. Another benefit of choosing us is that we will not require you to undergo a physical exam when being tested for an STD. Most of the free clinics and doctors will subject you to a physical as part of the testing process. When you go to the lab for the actual test, your privacy is still ensured as we only work with labs that offer multiple services. This means that no one will be able to figure out what kind of test you are there for. We understand that waiting for results can be difficult, so we offer a quick service. Most people will receive their blood test results within three days of taking the test.
