Low-Cost STD Testing

What are STDs?

STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), or STIs (sexually transmitted infections), are among the most prevalent viral, bacterial, and parasitic infectious diseases in the United States.  STDs can be contracted through any sexual contact involving the genitals, mouth, or anus.  Some STDs such as HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Hepatitis are spread by infected blood and/or bodily fluids.  Others, such as Herpes and Syphilis are spread through skin to skin contact with an infected area.  If not treated promptly, some STDs can cause serious long-term health issues such as infertility, liver disease, heart disease, arthritis, and a weakened immune system.  Some, such as HIV, can develop into potentially fatal complications.  Early detection and treatment are key to minimizing the impact of STDs on the health of both you and your partners.   

When is STD testing recommended?

While the possibility of contracting an STD is higher for those who engage in higher-risk behavior such as unprotected sex, sex with multiple partners, or sharing needles for intravenous drug use. anyone who is sexually active should consider getting a periodic STD test. For most people, unless they are in a long-term monogamous relationship, a yearly STD test is recommended.  People who are at higher risk may need to test more often.   Any time someone experiences unusual symptoms that may be related to an STD it is a good idea to get tested and find out what is going on.  If a current or past partner informs you that they have tested positive for an STD, you should get tested yourself.  Remember that any positive results should be discussed with a doctor.  Talking to a medical professional can help make sure that you take the proper steps to protect your health.

I feel fine.  Do I need STD testing?

Unfortunately, determining if you have contracted an STD based on whether or not you experience any symptoms is difficult and usually ineffective.  One of the reasons that STD's are so easy to spread is because a large number of people don't realize they are infected.  Many STD's will show symptoms that are similar to other common illnesses or no symptoms at all.  It is possible to have an  STD for years without realizing it.  But during that time, the infection may be quietly undermining your health.  No matter how careful you or your partner are, if you are sexually active, there is a risk of exposure.  STD testing is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.  Lab testing can identify sexually transmitted infections whether they are causing symptoms or not.  Once an infection is identified, you can work with your doctor to determine the appropriate treatment or follow-up.
