Why STD Testing Is Important
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) often show no symptoms in the early stages, making regular testing essential for early detection and treatment. Prompt diagnosis can prevent long-term complications and help reduce the spread of infection.
Common STDs We Test For Include
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- HIV
- Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2)
- Trichomoniasis
- Hepatitis B and C
Symptoms That May Indicate an STD
Many STDs are asymptomatic, but symptoms can include:
- Unusual genital discharge or odor
- Painful or frequent urination
- Sores, bumps, or blisters on/around the genitals or mouth
- Pain during sex or abdominal/pelvic pain
- Unexplained fever, rash, or swollen lymph nodes
- Irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting
If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect exposure, get tested promptly.
Currently, Routine Screening Guidelines Include:
(Recommendations vary by age, pregnancy status, and risk factors — discuss specifics with your provider.)
- Chlamydia & Gonorrhea: Annual screening is generally recommended for sexually active women under 25 and for older women with risk factors (new or multiple partners). People of any gender with new or multiple partners should discuss annual screening with their provider.
- HIV: At least one HIV screening is recommended for most adults; more frequent (for example, annual) testing is advised for people with ongoing risk (multiple partners, injection drug use, etc.).
- Syphilis: Screening during pregnancy and for persons with risk factors; repeat testing may be recommended in pregnancy or for those at ongoing risk.
- Hepatitis B & C: Screening is recommended for people with risk factors and during pregnancy; frequency varies by risk.
- Routine Sexual Health Checks: Individuals with new partners, those who had unprotected sex, or those with symptoms should seek immediate testing rather than waiting for routine intervals.
Guidelines are updated periodically — your provider will recommend the screening schedule that best fits your age, health, and risk profile.
