Confidential STD Testing Close to Home
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are common and often do not cause noticeable symptoms. In fact, many people have an infection without realizing it, making regular testing an important part of maintaining your health and helping prevent transmission to others.
At Midwest Express Clinic, our providers offer confidential evaluations and recommend testing based on your symptoms, health history, and possible exposure. Depending on your individual needs, testing may include:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- HIV
- Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C
- Herpes (when clinically appropriate)
- Trichomoniasis
- Additional testing based on your symptoms and risk factors
The exact tests recommended will depend on your individual situation and the provider’s evaluation.
When Should You Get STD Testing?
You should consider STD testing if you:
- Have a new sexual partner
- Have multiple sexual partners
- Had unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex
- Were notified that a current or previous partner tested positive for an STD
- Have symptoms such as burning during urination, unusual discharge, sores, rashes, or pelvic pain
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Want routine preventive screening for peace of mind
Because many sexually transmitted infections cause few or no symptoms, testing is often the only way to know whether you have an infection. Early diagnosis can help reduce the risk of complications and transmission to partners.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your visit begins with a confidential conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and any potential exposure. Your provider will explain which tests are appropriate and answer any questions you may have.
Testing may involve:
- A urine sample
- Blood testing
- Swab collection when medically indicated
- A physical examination if symptoms are present
After your results are available, your provider will review them with you and discuss any recommended treatment or follow-up care. If specialized care is needed, we’ll help coordinate the appropriate referral.
