STD Testing

Do I need to get tested?
If you ever have been sexually active, it is important to get tested. This means vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Any sexual activity puts you at risk. Many Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Sexually Transmitted Infections do not have symptoms until damage to your body has already been done.

Is there anything I need to do before I take the test?

Male Patients:
• Do not urinate an hour before your appointment.

Female Patients:
• Should not be menstruating
• Nothing in the vagina 48 hours prior to the test (sex, tampons, douching).
• Do not urinate an hour before your appointment.
