Discreet STI Testing for Sexual Health

STIs and STDs are common, and many people contract STIs and never develop symptoms. This is why it’s crucial for sexually active people to be tested regularly. Whether you want an office for routine STI screening services or believe you’ve been exposed to an STI and require treatment, Affinity Urgent Care can help.

STIs vs. STDs

STDs and STIs are slightly different. While a sexually transmitted infection (STI) refers to infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites contracted during sexual contact, the term sexually transmitted disease (STD) is sometimes used when a patient presents with symptoms. However, STI covers most cases and is preferred because the term “disease” can perpetuate stigma.

When Should You Get an STI Screening?

Anyone who has been exposed to an STI needs to be evaluated immediately so they can get the correct treatment to resolve their condition as soon as possible. In addition, we recommend that people with one partner be tested yearly and those with multiple sexual partners be tested every 3-6 months. We can test for the following STIs:

• Trichomoniasis  

• Chlamydia  

• Gonorrhea  

• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)  

• Syphilis  

We aim to provide fast, effective care and offer rapid STI results using cutting-edge tests, including the following:

Xpert^® CT/NG

This test is available for both men and women. CT/NG detects Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) in less than an hour.

DPP^® HIV-Syphilis test

The DPP^® HIV-syphilis test screens for Treponema pallidum (syphilis) and HIV, delivering quick results in 15 minutes.

Xpert^® TV

The Xpert^® TV test detects Trichomoniasis. This test returns results in 90 minutes or less.

Xpert^® Xpress MVP testing

This is a PCR test to diagnose vaginal infections. It can detect Trichomoniasis (TV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and bacterial vaginosis (BV) to aid in treatment planning.

When you visit us for STI screening services, our medical professionals will discuss your health concerns, including your sexual history, overall health, and symptoms (if present).
