We had the sweetest medical assistant that was so interactive and friendly with my 2 year old. Our NP was fantastic too and she was able treat his nurse maid elbow. Little man left urgent care smiling after such a rough evening. Really grateful for you all.

I was new to this facility. The on line process wasn’t too crazy even though I am far from a techie at my age. Staff that handled me in triage was kind and prompt. The provider was amazing. He had a plan, discussed why it was his plan, was open to some humor with me, and overall really seemed to give a damn. This is where I will recommend anyone to visit.

Great discreet service, scheduled my visit and paid for for the test online not in Showed up at lab, checked in and was seen within minutes. Blood and urine were collected, test results came back quickly within 2 days because I did my test on a Friday. Quick, easy and cheap. Didn't have to wait for a visit to my PCP, and then get referral to lab.

I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

points 22 minutes ago Sun Coast is the best place to go. Staff is professional and courteous. I see a lot of patients complaining about the wait time but you have to understand that since Covid hit they are understaffed and get no lunch breaks. They are doing the best they can under the circumstances. The wait may be long but once you are called you get the best care possible. I highly recommend Sun Coast.

GREAT service! The visit was made a lot easier by the way the receptionist handled everyone, the understanding of the doctor, and the GREAT work of the nurse giving a shot (he was VERY good)! Over 70 and going out during the situation of the world now, I was EXTREMELY nervous but they ALL put me at ease! I will definitely go back again if the need arises.

Chlamydia Test FAQs

  • What is a chlamydia test?

    A chlamydia test is an STD test that can determine whether or not you have chlamydia. It can be done as a urine test or a swab test, according to the NIH, though the swab test is usually only done on women. A chlamydia test is available from many healthcare professionals who provide lab test services.

  • What is chlamydia testing used for?

    According to the National Institutes of Health, a chlamydia test is used to determine the presence of chlamydia bacteria in the body. Even if you don't have any symptoms, it can be used to confirm whether you have chlamydia. Chlamydia symptoms include pain when peeing and frequent urine, according to the National Institutes of Health. In women, it can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, while in men, it can induce discharge from the penis.

  • Why do I need a chlamydia test?

    A chlamydia test can tell you if you have the STD and help you avoid spreading it to others. The National Institutes of Health recommends yearly chlamydia tests for sexually active women under the age of 25, males who have sex with men, HIV patients, and pregnant women under the age of 25. This STD test is especially advised for women over 25 who have had several sex partners and whose partners have used condoms incorrectly or inconsistently.

  • What happens during a chlamydia test?

    The chlamydia test provider will ask you to urinate into a sterile collecting cup during the urine test, according to the National Institutes of Health. The presence of chlamydia germs in your urine sample is checked by lab technicians. During a pelvic exam, a healthcare provider will use a swab or brush to capture a sample of cells, according to the National Institutes of Health. The sample is subsequently sent to a laboratory for analysis.

  • Will I need to do anything to prepare for the test?

    According to the National Institutes of Health, lab test providers may encourage women who are having a chlamydia test to refrain from using vaginal douches or lotions for at least 24 hours before the test. Men and women may also be requested to refrain from taking antibiotics for at least 24 hours prior to the STD test.

  • How long does it take for chlamydia to show up?

    According to the University of Wisconsin, chlamydia symptoms normally appear one to three weeks following exposure to the infection. However, according to the university, 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men with chlamydia have no symptoms. The only method to know if you have chlamydia is to take a chlamydia test from an STD testing center.According to the University of Wisconsin, chlamydia symptoms normally appear one to three weeks following exposure to the infection. However, according to the university, 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men with chlamydia have no symptoms. The only method to know if you have chlamydia is to take a chlamydia test from an STD testing center.

  • How long will I test positive for chlamydia after treatment?

    After you've finished treatment, you shouldn't test positive for chlamydia anymore. Chlamydia can be successfully treated with azithromycin or doxycycline, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. People with lymphogranuloma venereum, a kind of chlamydia, may require 21 days of treatment, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Furthermore, the institution advises abstaining from all sexual activity for at least seven days or until chlamydia therapy is completed.

  • Where can I get a chlamydia test in Alabama?

    Many healthcare providers that offer lab tests and STD testing services, such as hospitals, urgent care centers, and walk-in clinics, offer a chlamydia test. One of the simplest and most convenient ways to find chlamydia test providers in your neighborhood is to use Solv. To find top-rated providers and make an appointment online, type "chlamydia test" or "STD testing" into the search area on Solv's website, then input your location.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can affect men and women alike. Chlamydia is one of the most frequent STDs, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection spread by vaginal, oral, or anal sex with someone who is infected. According to the CDC, chlamydia can cause substantial damage to a woman's reproductive system if left untreated, leading to infertility or fatal ectopic pregnancy.

According to the National Institutes of Health, many persons with chlamydia have no symptoms and can unknowingly transfer the disease to others. Abstaining from sex, using latex condoms, and being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who does not have chlamydia are all recommended by the CDC as the best strategies to prevent chlamydia.According to the National Institutes of Health, many persons with chlamydia have no symptoms and can unknowingly transfer the disease to others.

How to contract chlamydia

Chlamydia is spread through unprotected sexual contact with someone who is infected. According to the CDC, you can catch chlamydia even if your sexual partner is a man who is afflicted with the STD and does not ejaculate during sexual activity. If you are pregnant and have chlamydia, you can transmit it to your kid during childbirth, according to the CDC.

What is a chlamydia test?

A chlamydia test is a laboratory test that searches for the bacterium chlamydia in your body. This test can be done as a urine or swab test, according to the CDC.

Both men and women can take the urine test, whereas only women can take the swab test. The NIH reports that during a pelvic exam, an STD test provider takes a sample of cells with a small brush or cotton swab.

What is the treatment for chlamydia?

Antibiotics are a simple way to cure chlamydia. The CDC recommends a seven-day antibiotic course for chlamydia treatment. The CDC warns that while this will end the infection, it will not be able to heal any harm caused by the sickness. It also recommends that you refrain from sexual activity for at least seven days or for the duration of your chlamydia treatment.
