Easy to schedule, they had a same day appt and I was able to book right at 9 am, staff and PA were SO nice, PA was informative and friendly, with great bedside manner and advice. My only opportunity area for this Urgent Care would be to reduce the wait time. It took 40 minutes before I even saw the PA from when I arrived with the 9 am appt. And all together I was there 1 hour and 30 minutes. PA was new and learning the ropes and computer systems, but this waiting time (with an appt) should look to be shortened in the future.

For 5+ years, I have had a great physician experience at this location, but am preplexed by the doc I saw on Sept 17. I had head & chest congestion with severe exhaustion with an overall feeling of anxiety & dizziness with no voice.  I could not hold my head up, nor could I concentrate. Combo home test for Flu & Covid were negative  2 days earlier. Doc repeated these test, but the report I was given stared only flu test was administered. It was negative. A  prescription of Methylprednisolone for strength was given yet it can can cause more anxiety & dizziness. Also given a prescription for Benzonatate for cough which I did NOT have. This medication also may cause dizziness, drowsiness & stuffy nose…1st 3 side effects listed. My husband was the one who questioned the rationale for these meds. I didnt realize this in the office because I could not concentrate well. Why not a script for the congestion? I visited a different urgent care the following day. I had a sinus infection & double ear infection…my ears were never checked by Liberty doc. I also tested positive for Covid.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

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.

Overview of STD Testing in Allentown

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), as they can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. This is particularly important for those who have multiple sexual partners, do not consistently use protection during sex, or have symptoms suggestive of an STD. According to the CDC, specific guidelines suggest that all adults and adolescents from ages 13 to 64 should be tested at least once for HIV, while sexually active women younger than 25 years should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia annually.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not present with symptoms initially, making it possible for individuals to unknowingly spread the disease to others. Secondly, untreated STDs can lead to serious health complications, such as infertility, certain types of cancer, and increased susceptibility to HIV. Lastly, early detection through testing allows for timely treatment, which can effectively manage symptoms and prevent transmission to others.

Std testing options in Allentown, PA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are convenient options for STD testing in Allentown. These facilities often offer same-day appointments, and you can book your visit through Solv’s website or mobile app. One such highly rated clinic is Liberty Urgent Care in Hatfield, PA.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are also a reliable choice for STD testing. They can provide continuity of care and follow up on treatment outcomes. However, some individuals may prefer the anonymity of urgent care clinics or other testing options.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Free STD testing is available at various community health centers in Allentown. These centers provide affordable and accessible services, especially for uninsured or underinsured individuals.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another viable option for those who value privacy and convenience. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.

Prevalence of STDs in Allentown

Allentown, located in Lehigh County, PA, has seen a rise in STD cases over the years. This trend is consistent with national data, which shows an increase in STD prevalence across the country. The most common STDs in Allentown include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Comparatively, the rates of STDs in Allentown are higher than in nearby cities such as Fullerton and Catasauqua, and nearby counties like Hampshire and Hampden.

Risk factors related to STDs in Allentown

Several risk factors contribute to the high prevalence of STDs in Allentown. These include a lack of comprehensive sexual education, limited access to healthcare services, and socio-economic factors such as poverty and drug use. Additionally, stigma associated with STD testing may deter individuals from getting tested and treated, thereby contributing to the spread of these diseases.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Allentown?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Allentown clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

  • How long does it take to get STD test results?

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Allentown?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Allentown clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Allentown?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Allentown?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Allentown?

    Many Allentown, PA urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • How can I book an STD test on Solv?

    To find a healthcare practitioner in your area, simply enter your location and search for "STD test" on our website. A list of providers and available appointments can be found on the following page. Choose the most convenient time and location for you. Make it clear that you've come for STD testing.

  • How long does an STD test take in Allentown?

    If you have a specific STD, inform your doctor so that the necessary test can be scheduled. Otherwise, they'll help you figure out which tests you'll need. The nurse or doctor simply needs a few minutes to get a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab from the probable infection site.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
