Confidential Testing, Clear Answers
Same-day evaluation, accurate testing, and evidence-based treatment—handled with privacy and respect.
If you're concerned about a possible exposure, have new symptoms, or simply want routine screening, we provide discreet, judgment-free care. We review risks, choose the right tests, and create a clear plan for treatment, follow-up, and partner notification when needed.
Fast Facts
Many STIs have no symptoms—screening catches issues early
Different infections require different sample types (urine, swab, blood)
Most bacterial STIs are curable; others are manageable with treatment
Condoms reduce risk; testing cadence depends on partners and exposure
Common Symptoms
- Burning with urination, pelvic pain, or test discomfort
- Vaginal discharge, odor, or irritation
- Genital sores, bumps, or rash
- Irregular bleeding or pain with intercourse
- No symptoms at all—routine screening still matters
What We Test For
Screening typically includes chlamydia and gonorrhea (urine or swab), trichomonas (swab), syphilis (blood), HIV (blood), and hepatitis B/C when indicated. We tailor sites of testing (vaginal/cervical, urine, throat, rectal) to your sexual practices for accurate results.
Routine Screening vs. Exposure Testing
Routine Screening
- Asymptomatic, based on risk and guidelines
- Covers common bacterial STIs ± HIV/syphilis
- Cadence: annually or more often with new partners
- Great for peace of mind and early detection
After a Specific Exposure
- Time-sensitive testing windows discussed
- Consider preventive treatment when appropriate
- Repeat testing scheduled to capture window periods
- Partner testing/notification plan reviewed
Treatment & Follow-Up
If a test is positive, we start guideline-based treatment promptly and outline when to abstain from sex and when to retest. For chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas, we recommend a test-of-cure or rescreening at the appropriate interval. We provide written instructions you can share with partners.
Confidentiality & Partner Care
Your results are confidential. We discuss discreet partner notification options and provide treatment guidance for partners when allowed. If you prefer, we can supply anonymous notification tools and clear templates.
Prevention & Vaccines
Condoms reduce risk for many STIs. HPV vaccination protects against cervical and other HPV-related diseases. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended if not immune. We also review PrEP eligibility to prevent HIV for those at higher risk.
What to Bring
- ✓Medication/allergy list
- ✓Dates of possible exposure(s) and symptom onset
- ✓Vaccination history (HPV, hepatitis B) if known
- ✓Questions about testing windows and prevention
- ✓Preference for contact method for results
Frequently Asked Questions
1How soon after exposure should I test?
Some tests turn positive within days, others take weeks. We often test now and schedule follow-up testing to cover window periods—ensuring accurate results.
2Will my visit be confidential?
Yes. Results are private. We discuss your preferences for communication and documentation and follow legal and ethical privacy standards.
3Do I need testing without symptoms?
Often yes. Many infections are silent. We recommend periodic screening based on partners, practices, and local guidelines.
4Can I get treatment the same day?
When appropriate, we can start empiric treatment based on symptoms and exposure risk while awaiting confirmatory results.
5What about my partner?
We provide guidance for partner testing and treatment, including written information or expedited partner therapy where allowed. Preventing reinfection protects you both.
