BENEFITS OF STD TESTING AT AN URGENT CARE

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a common condition that affects millions of people each year. Most STDs are treatable but the key to effective treatment is early detection. If you have been exposed to an STD, you should get tested as soon as possible. You can get tested in many places, but urgent care facilities offer several benefits that make them a great choice for testing. 

Convenience

Urgent care centers are often open seven days a week, with extended hours that make it easy to get tested for STDs when it's convenient for you. This is particularly important if you have a busy schedule or work during typical business hours. Urgent care centers are often located in easily accessible areas, so you won't have to travel far to get tested. You can often receive your STD test results within a matter of days. This way you can get peace of mind quickly and start treatment if necessary. 

Confidentiality

Urgent care centers are required to maintain patient confidentiality, which means your personal information and test results will be kept private. This is particularly important when it comes to STD testing, which can be a sensitive and personal matter.

Comprehensive Testing

Urgent care centers typically offer a variety of services and can provide testing for many sexually transmitted conditions including:

•    Hepatitis
•    Chlamydia
•    Gonorrhea
•    Syphilis
•    HIV or AIDS
•    Human papillomavirus (HPV)
•    Genital herpes
