STI Testing

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are very common, and are passed from one person to another through intimate physical contact, or through sexual activity including vaginal, oral, and anal sex.

Why is it important to get tested?

STIs don’t always cause symptoms so it’s possible to have an infection and not know it until you get tested.

STIs are preventable and some can be treated with medication.

Chlamydia is a common bacterial infection that may not cause symptoms, but bacteria can be found in the vagina, cervix, urethra, rectum, and throat. Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that affects the genitals, rectum, throat, and eyes and can spread to the pelvis, skin, joints, liver, and rarely, the heart and brain.

Top Questions

What's the difference between STI and STD?
Accordion toggle icon

STI, sexually transmitted infection, and STD, sexually transmitted disease, are terms often used interchangeably. STI is a more socially acceptable and medically accurate term.

Who should get screened?
Accordion toggle icon

All sexually active women younger than 25 years should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia every year.

Women over 25 with risk factors (such as new or multiple sex partners or a sex partner who has an STI) should also be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia every year.

All pregnant women should be tested for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B starting early in pregnancy. At-risk pregnant women should also be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea starting early in pregnancy.

Anyone age 13 to 64 should be tested at least once for HIV.

How often should I get tested?
Accordion toggle icon

We recommend you get tested every 3-12 months, depending on factors such as the number of sexual partners you have.

What do my results mean?
Accordion toggle icon

Positive result: If the lab detects one or more STIs, we’ll follow up with you to discuss all of your treatment options, which may include prescription treatment or further testing.

Negative result: If the lab does not detect any STIs, we’ll let you know and discuss when you should get tested again.

Can STIs be cured?
Accordion toggle icon

Bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia) can be cured with antibiotics. While there is no known cure for viral STIs (HIV, HPV, herpes, and hepatitis), many of their symptoms can be alleviated with treatment. Additionally, there are vaccines available to help prevent both HPV and hepatitis.
