STD testing is the process of checking for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) through various methods such as blood tests, urine tests, or vaginal swabbing. It is important to get tested regularly because many STDs do not have obvious symptoms and can have serious health consequences if left untreated. Our STD testing services allow for early detection and treatment, which can help protect your reproductive health and overall well-being.
What Can Be Checked and Treated?
At our women's center, we offer comprehensive testing for a variety of STDs including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, HPV (human papillomavirus), herpes, hepatitis, and more. If any results come back positive, our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, counseling, or follow-up testing.
Why is STD Testing Important?
STDs can affect women of all ages, and mothers often play a crucial role in educating their daughters about sexual health. Additionally, STD testing is important for pregnant women as some STDs can affect the development of the baby as well be passed along to the baby during childbirth. STD testing is also important for treatment to prevent future health complications.
