Convenient and Confidential STD Testing Near You

Taking control of your sexual health should not require waiting weeks for an appointment. Midwest Express Clinic combines the accessibility of urgent care with the personal attention patients expect from a primary care provider.

Sexually transmitted diseases are also called sexually transmitted infections, or STIs. Either term may be used, although “infection” is often more accurate because many people do not develop symptoms.

The CDC explains that STIs frequently cause no symptoms. Testing may therefore be appropriate even when you feel healthy. The tests you need—and how often you should receive them—depend on your age, medical history, sexual practices, pregnancy status, symptoms, and other personal factors.

You do not have to determine which laboratory panel to request before arriving. Your provider will listen to your concerns and recommend testing based on your individual circumstances.

When Is STD Testing Recommended?

Some people visit because they have a specific symptom or known exposure. Others include STD testing in their regular preventive care. Both are valid reasons to speak with a healthcare provider.

Consider testing if you:

• Have a new sexual partner
• Have multiple sexual partners
• Had vaginal, oral, or anal sex without barrier protection
• Were informed that a partner has an STI
• Have symptoms that could be related to an infection
• Want screening before beginning a new relationship
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Have not been screened recently
• Want reassurance following a possible exposure

Testing windows vary by infection. A test performed too soon after an exposure may not detect an infection. Tell your provider when the contact occurred so they can explain when to test and whether follow-up testing may be appropriate.

What Symptoms Should You Have Evaluated?

Many STIs remain asymptomatic, especially in their early stages. When symptoms occur, they can resemble a urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, skin problem, or another condition.

Visit Midwest Express Clinic for an evaluation if you experience:

• Burning or pain while urinating
• Unusual vaginal or penile discharge
• Genital itching, irritation, or redness
• Sores, blisters, bumps, or warts around the genitals
• Pelvic or lower abdominal discomfort
• Pain during sexual activity
• Bleeding between menstrual periods
• Testicular discomfort or swelling
• Rectal discomfort, discharge, or bleeding
• A new or unexplained rash
• Flu-like symptoms after a possible exposure

Symptoms alone cannot confirm whether you have an STD. A provider can assess your concerns and recommend testing for STIs or other conditions that could be causing them.

Which STIs Can Midwest Express Clinic Test For?

The tests ordered during your visit depend on your possible exposure, symptoms, medical history, and provider evaluation. Available testing may include:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Trichomoniasis
• HIV
• Syphilis
• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Herpes when clinically appropriate
• Other infections based on symptoms and risk factors

Testing may require urine, blood, or swab samples. Standard options may include urine testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis and blood testing for HIV and syphilis.

The location of a possible exposure matters. If you have had oral or anal sex, talk with your provider about throat or rectal swab testing. A urine sample alone may not identify an infection at another exposure site. Patients with sores, blisters, itching, odor, or discharge may also need symptom-specific testing.

Additional information is available on the Midwest Express Clinic STD testing page.

What Happens During a Walk-In STD Testing Visit?

Your provider will begin with a private conversation about why you want testing. This discussion may include your symptoms, recent sexual activity, possible exposure, previous infections, pregnancy status, and relevant medical history.

A typical visit includes:

1. Check-in: Walk in or use the online system to hold your place in line.
2. Private health discussion: Explain your symptoms or testing concerns to the provider.
3. Test selection: The provider recommends tests based on your individual needs.
4. Sample collection: You may provide urine, blood, or one or more swabs. A physical examination may be suggested if you have symptoms.
5. Laboratory processing: Samples are handled according to the tests ordered.
6. Results and next steps: Your provider explains the results and discusses treatment or follow-up care when needed.

STD panel results are generally available within approximately 48 hours. Turnaround times may vary depending on the specific test, laboratory processing, weekends, holidays, and whether additional analysis is required.

What If Your Test Is Positive?

Receiving a positive result can feel overwhelming, but many STIs can be treated or effectively managed. Your provider will explain what the result means and help you understand the next step.

When treatment is appropriate within urgent care, your provider will discuss the available options. Some infections or complicated cases may require additional testing, follow-up with primary care, or referral to a specialist.

Depending on your diagnosis, the provider may discuss:

• Whether current or recent partners should be notified
• Whether partners need testing or treatment
• How long to avoid sexual contact
• When repeat testing may be recommended
• Ways to reduce the chance of reinfection
• Whether HIV prevention options such as PrEP may be appropriate

Treatment must be based on the specific infection and the patient’s health history. Never take leftover antibiotics or medication prescribed to someone else.

Is STD Testing at Midwest Express Clinic Confidential?

Yes. Midwest Express Clinic provides confidential, respectful care, and your medical information is handled according to applicable privacy requirements.

If you are insured through a parent, spouse, or another policyholder, the insurance company may send that person an explanation of benefits. Patients concerned about billing privacy should speak with the clinic and their insurer about communications or self-pay options before testing.

Do You Need an Appointment at the Burbank Clinic?

No. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week. Online check-in is recommended because it allows you to hold a place in line and complete some registration information before arriving.

Online check-in is not a scheduled appointment, and actual wait times can vary based on patient volume and medical needs.

Bring the following when available:

• A government-issued photo ID
• Your insurance card
• A list of medications and allergies
• The approximate date of any possible exposure
• Information about when symptoms began
• Questions you want to discuss with the provider

Midwest Express Clinic accepts many major insurance plans, including certain Medicare and Medicaid plans. Coverage, copays, deductibles, and laboratory benefits vary. Check the clinic’s accepted insurance information or contact your insurer for plan-specific details.

Self-pay testing options are available for patients without insurance and those who prefer to pay directly. Applicable charges are discussed before testing or treatment begins.
