STD Testing and Treatment Q & A

Why Get Tested for STDs?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) often have no symptoms. Therefore, testing is the only way you’ll know for certain if you have an STD or an STI. If left untreated, STDs and STIs can have serious, lifelong consequences. Early and regular STD testing and prompt STD treatment can prevent many of these complications. At our urgent care clinics, we serve patients located in Napa, Sonoma, Benicia, Vallejo, American Canyon and the surrounding areas of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Wine Country. Our convenient hours and locations make us the right choice for all of your urgent care and sexual health needs.

What Types of STD Testing Do You Offer

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all sexually active people get tested for STDs. In our urgent care clinic, we offer a full range of STD testing for residents of Napa, Sonoma, Benicia and the surrounding communities. The types of STDs we test for include the following:

Genital Herpes

Genital herpes infections are highly transmissible. While condoms protect against many STDs, genital herpes can be spread through direct contact with the genitals, even if condoms are used. Your provider may do a blood test or scraping of an ulcer to detect a genital herpes infection if requested by the patient..

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea

We offer in clinic PCR testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea for males and females. For males, a urine test or a swab test may be done. For females, vaginal swab testing may be performed.

HIV and Hepatitis

We offer Rapid in clinic finger stick blood tests for men and women at risk of HIV infections. If a rapid test is positive, we collect a blood sample for PCR testing.

Syphilis

Syphilis is a bacterial infection. To test for it, we collect a fingerstick blood sample, if positive, we will initiate treatment.

Trichomonas

This is a protozoan that can cause inflammation of the vaginal walls, and a foul odor.
