Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, can be spread through unprotected sex, used needles, an infected mother to her child at birth and from a woman's breast milk. The Centers for Disease Control says that an estimated 1.2 million people in the United States have HIV/AIDS and of those, 25% are unaware that they are infected.

If you have reason to think you may have been exposed to an STD, it is vital to your health to get a test fast. Testing through Recent Exposure STD tests can find an infection in just under a month since the believed exposure. Rapid results are necessary in order to get peace of mind and treatment.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
A contagious disease, Hepatitis B can range in severity from a weak and easy to recover from illness lasting a mere few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. Hepatitis B infection can occur through sexual contact or through the sharing of used needles and syringes.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
Genital herpes is a venereal disease caused by the two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) usually manifests as oral herpes, an illness of the oral region, called "cold sores" or "fever blisters". Usually HSV-1 doesn't cause genital herpes, but recently sexually active youth are developing genital herpes from HSV-1. However, genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). The herpes simplex virus is passed along by touching infected sores or contact with infected bodily fluids.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
The STD known as Syphilis is spread from an infected person via vaginal, anal or oral sex. Its symptoms are varied and frequently not distinguishable from other illnesses. If not treated properly, the disease can cause severe damage to the brain, heart, eyes and other crucial body tissues. Syphilis can be fatal. But, it is a disease that can be treated with a proper antibiotics program.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Hepatitis C comes from transmitting from exchanging bodily fluids, as through sex and other activities. Those infected frequently show few symptoms. It is a disease that can be treated if caught early before it leads to serious side effects like liver damage and finally, liver failure. Over 200 million people are infected with this disease.
Chlamydia Test
The most common bacterial STD in the United States, chlamydia can be spread through oral, vaginal or anal intercourse. Most people are unaware they have the disease as they may not notice they have any symptoms. Detection is frequently only found through STD testing. Sexually active individuals could be infected with chlamydia with their risk higher depending on how many partners they have.
Gonorrhea Test
A bacteria, gonorrhea grows in the reproductive tract, urethra, anus, mouth, throat, and eyes. People often don't know they have gonorrhea; 50% of females and 10% of males are asymptomatic. Men and women both can experience serious problems if gonorrhea is untreated.
Are you seeking peace of mind about a possible STD? Call our nurses to find out what STD testing services we have available. They will ask questions as they listen to you and learn about your situation. They will help you determine what STD test or combination of tests you should take. After your testing is complete, they are there again for you to explain your test results and counsel you on what treatment options are available.
If you go to a free clinic or local doctor for STD testing, they will put your test results into your permanent medical record. However, if you choose one of our Health Testing Centers, we are able to keep your results private. In fact, we even allow you to use an alias when coming in for testing. The only way anyone will find out about your test results is if you tell them yourself. Another thing about clinics is that they will most likely give you a physical exam as part of your STD testing. We do not require this at our centers. When you go to the lab to take your test, people should not be able to guess the reason for our visit since our labs provide a variety of testing services. We realize that waiting for test results can cause anxiety. Because of this, we provide quick results within two to three days.
