Who Needs STD Testing?

Those who are sexually active should always be sure to have regular checks for STD's done. STD testing is essential for many reasons. Many STD's may occur in someone without any symptoms at all. If the individual does not realize that they have an STD, it can go mistreated for quite some time. When an STD goes mistreated, a number of severe medical conditions may occur including the possibility of death. The idea of having been exposed to an STD can be stressful and frightening which is why every individual who is sexually active should make it a point to use protection and receive STD testing regularly.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

There are several different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and some are much more severe than others. Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia are three of the most common STD's in existence. While these three STDs can be treated and cured in early stages, it is best to avoid them all together by practicing safe sex. In the United States alone, more than 36,000 people are said to have Syphilis each year. Chlamydia is also on the rise and has been since the year 1984. It is important for people to know that if they do have one of these three STDs, catching it early and taking the proper treatment methods can prevent any serious medical conditions. STD testing is important since many people who do have these STDs are unaware because of the lack of symptoms.

More serious STDs include Herpes, Hepatitis, and AIDS/HIV. Genital Herpes infects about 1 in 6 people in the United States. The amount of people suffering from herpes has not risen in recent years but it also has not decreased either. With herpes, the individual will have an outbreak of sores. If someone has genital herpes and then receives unprotected oral sex from someone else, they are risking the chance of infecting the other individual with herpes as well. As of right now, there are medications to help control the breakouts of herpes, but there is no cure. In the United States alone, there are 33.3 million people living with AIDS/HIV. There is also no current cure for AIDS/HIV. There are medications and therapy designed to help people cope with their AIDS/HIV. The treatment can help the individual to live a healthier life. However, because there is no cure, many people die from AIDS/HIV each year. These are all reasons why STD is so important and should be done regularly.

Should I Get Tested For STDs?

Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) testing is vitally important, not only to one’s health, but to the health of one’s partner. Of the 19 million new STD cases reported each year, many of them present no immediate symptoms, and it is possible for someone to spread an STD and be entirely unaware. It is believed that the vast majority of the 65 million Americans living with STDs didn’t contract them from a dishonest partner, but from one who wasn’t aware they had a disease because they did not have an test for STDs after having unprotected sex or, as encouraged by The Centers for Disease Control “as a routine part of medical care.” The only way for someone to become entirely certain they do not have an STD is to be tested.

Other than the fact that an STD test through LabCorp is performed in a separate lab, it is no different than any other test performed on a routine basis at a doctor’s office. The cost is negligible, and while there are those who claim STD testing is expensive and therefore do not get tested, they may not be aware of the exorbitant personal cost of not detecting STDs early. Being in a committed relationship does not exempt someone from the dangers of STDs, as his or her partner may be infected without knowing it.

What Symptoms Should I Be Aware Of?

Most STDs present no immediate symptoms, so it can be difficult to know without routine STD testing if a person has contracted a disease. However, people should be aware of certain symptoms which can indicate the presence of an STD. It is important to note that some of these symptoms may come and go while the disease remains within the body . Symptoms may include:

Painful urination
Painful sores
Warts
Pain during intercourse
Abnormal discharge

If I Want To Visit A Lab, Do I Have To Make An Appointment?

Appointments for STD testing are encouraged, though not required, at all LabCorp sites, and for our customers’ convenience online appointment scheduling is available. Making an appointment can reduce the wait time upon entering our locations. A patient can visit a local LabCorp location the same day they order their test with an order requisition. This order requisition is simply a document we email the patient which informs the lab of the patient’s needs.

How Long Do I Have To Wait For The Results?

Depending on the complexity of the tests, the results for STD tests can take up to five days to be returned, though most often they will be emailed directly to the patient approximately 1-2 days from when the blood was drawn.

How Should I Prepare for a STD Test?

Sometimes no preparation is required for STD tests, while at other times preparation is necessary; these preparations are made clear once the patient contacts us and it is advised he or she follow our instructions to avoid a false result. Some of the preparations the patient may be asked to make before testing for STDs include fasting or not ingesting certain medications or vitamins.

If for any reason the patient could not follow the instructions before testing, let us know so we can avoid incorrect results.

What Is A Lab Test Like?

The patient’s part in a lab test is simply to provide a specimen to be analyzed by our laboratory, and we do our best to ensure our patient’s comfort at our centers. The specimen can be blood, urine, saliva, or semen, depending on the STD test. Patients should feel free to contact us with any concerns they may have about the process, and we will be sure to address their concerns and make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

Are My Results Kept Confidential?

There are certain conditions and regulations placed upon us that require us to share a patient’s personal health information, and these conditions are best relayed in our Notice of Privacy Practices. In this notice patients will find the ways in which we are able to share their personal health information, as well as their rights as a patient. It should be noted that if they are found to have an STD, we are required to share that information with the National STD Registry.
