If you’re looking for STI screening services, whether you believe you’ve been exposed to an STI or simply need an office for regular checkups, we’re here to help.

What Our STI Screenings Cover

Affinity Urgent Care recommends that people with multiple sexual partners be tested every 3-6 months and those with one partner be tested yearly. However, if you think you’ve been exposed to an STI, it’s critical to be evaluated as soon as possible so you can get prompt treatment. We provide a nonjudgmental space where you can get the care you need, and we test for the following conditions:

• Chlamydia  

• Syphilis  

• Trichomoniasis  

• Gonorrhea  

• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)  

Is There a Difference Between an STI and an STD?

STDs and STIs differ mainly in name. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites contracted during sexual contact. Many people contract STIs and never have symptoms, which is why it’s important to have regular STI screenings—however, when a patient presents with symptoms, it’s referred to as a sexually transmitted disease (STD). STI is preferred, though, because the term “disease” can perpetuate stigma, and “STI” covers most cases.

What Happens at an STI Screening?

During your appointment, one of our medical professionals will discuss your health concerns, sexual history, health records, and any symptoms you have. We will then proceed with testing, which may require swabs, urine, or blood samples. STI tests are usually quick and painless and return results on the same day.

After Your Test

Our medical team will discuss your results with you. If you test positive for any STIs, we will create a treatment plan and offer advice on informing your partners.
