Order STD TestingSexually transmitted disease (STD) testing refers to laboratory methods that detect infections passed primarily through sexual contact. Because many of these infections produce no noticeable symptoms, testing is often the only way to identify them. A screen can cover a single organism or several at once, depending on the panel selected and the reason for testing.
About STD Testing in Alhambra
An STD screen groups one or more laboratory tests to look for common sexually transmitted infections.
Panels vary widely. A basic screen may check for chlamydia and gonorrhea, while broader panels add syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or trichomoniasis. Each organism requires its own detection method, so the markers measured depend entirely on which tests are included.
Samples are collected in different ways depending on the infection being tested. Urine and blood draws are common, and swabs may be taken from the throat, rectum, or genital area. Some tests use a single sample type, while others require more than one specimen.
Results are typically available within one to three business days, though timing differs by test and laboratory. A negative result generally means the organism was not detected at the time of collection, while a positive result usually prompts confirmatory or follow-up testing. Preparation is minimal and follows the lab's instructions.
