How does STD testing work?
Upon receipt of your sample at our laboratory, our skilled team of laboratory technicians will conduct a thorough analysis and provide you and/or your healthcare provider with the results within 24-48 hours.
How long does it take for STD to show up?
Here are some examples:
Chlamydia: Symptoms may appear within a few days to several weeks after exposure. However, many people with chlamydia may not have symptoms.
Gonorrhea: Symptoms may appear within a few days to a few weeks after exposure. However, like chlamydia, many people with gonorrhea may not have symptoms.
Syphilis: Symptoms may appear within a few days to several weeks after exposure, but can take up to several months to appear.
HIV: It can take several weeks to several months for the body to produce enough antibodies to be detectable in standard HIV tests.
Herpes: Symptoms may appear within a few days to several weeks after exposure, but it's also common for people to have no symptoms at all.
Even if no symptoms are present, a person may still be infected with an STD and pass it on to others, making regular testing important, particularly for those who have multiple partners or have unprotected sex.
How often do people have STDs and not know?
Commonly referred to as "silent" infections, those infected may experience little to no physical indications, making it easier for them to go undiagnosed and untreated, thus leading to the potential for harm to their reproductive systems.
Should I get tested after every partner?
For those who have had a new sexual partner, getting tested is a must, as it allows both partners to know their health status and protect themselves against the spread of infection. Additionally, honest and open communication about testing and STI status is essential in maintaining good health.
