The Importance of STD Testing

Regular STD testing is vital for maintaining sexual health and overall well-being. Many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be asymptomatic, meaning you may have an infection without experiencing noticeable signs or symptoms. Testing allows for early identification of infections, enabling timely intervention and treatment to prevent the spread of STDs to partners and minimize the risk of complications that require urgent care.

At Pristine Family Medicine, our experienced healthcare professionals provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment for discussing your sexual health concerns and conducting the necessary tests. We offer confidential testing to ensure your privacy and deliver accurate results in a timely manner. Our team will provide guidance and information on safe sexual practices, risk reduction strategies, and available treatment options if needed. With Pristine Family Medicine, you can trust that your sexual health is in caring and capable hands.

When to Consider STD Testing

Knowing when to get an STD test is crucial for safeguarding your sexual health. Whether you have symptoms, engaged in unprotected sex, or have multiple sexual partners, timely testing can provide peace of mind and allow for prompt intervention if necessary. Remember, regular testing is important even if you do not have any symptoms, as some STDs can be asymptomatic. Here are some situations in which you should consider getting an STD test:
Common Urgent Care Symptoms Treated:
  • If you experience any symptoms associated with STDs, such as unusual discharge, genital sores, pain during urination, or itching in the genital area.
  • If you engage in unprotected sex with a new partner or a partner whose STD status is unknown.
  • If you have multiple sexual partners or engage in high-risk sexual behaviors.
  • If you are planning to start a new sexual relationship or before becoming sexually active.
  • If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as some STDs can be transmitted from mother to child during childbirth.
  • If you have been notified that a previous sexual partner has been diagnosed with an STD, as you may have been exposed to the infection.
