So amazing these caring souls that work here! I came in last minute with my daughter and in the kerfuffle of illness and getting her there on time we forgot her ID. The appointment I had originally was at 6:30 and they close at 7. We didn’t get back there with the ID until 6:50. The angel at the front desk called me to see if I was still coming! They helped us thoroughly, thoughtfully and with incredible kindness. Thank you immensely.

Overview of STD Testing in Lakewood

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider regular STD testing, particularly if they have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex. The CDC recommends that all adults and adolescents from ages 13 to 64 should be tested at least once for HIV. Specific recommendations for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis depend on your sex, age, and sexual behavior. Regular testing is crucial even if you do not exhibit any symptoms, as many STDs can be asymptomatic but still pose serious health risks if left untreated.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is a crucial aspect of maintaining good sexual health. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious health complications such as infertility, certain types of cancer, organ damage, and increased risk of HIV infection. Regular testing also helps to prevent the spread of STDs to others.

STD testing options in Lakewood, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care centers and walk-in clinics offer convenient, same-day STD testing. Carbon Health in Long Beach is a highly-rated option, with a 4.48 rating based on 31 reviews. You can book same-day and next-day appointments through Solv's website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also provide STD testing. If you have a regular doctor you see, this can be a comfortable and familiar option.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Free STD testing is available at community health centers throughout Los Angeles County. These centers can be a valuable resource for those without insurance or with limited financial resources.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing is another option. These tests provide privacy and convenience, allowing you to take the test at your own convenience and receive results online.

Prevalence of STDs in Lakewood

Lakewood is part of Los Angeles County, which has one of the highest STD rates in the country. According to the CDC, the county has seen a steady increase in the prevalence of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis over the past few years. The rates of STDs in Lakewood are consistent with the county's overall trend.

Risk factors related to STDs in Lakewood

Several factors contribute to the high prevalence of STDs in Lakewood. These include a high rate of unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and a lack of regular testing. Additionally, certain populations, such as young adults and men who have sex with men, are at a higher risk. Access to education and healthcare services is also a significant factor. With 1477 nearby locations to get tested at, Lakewood residents have ample resources to take control of their sexual health.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Lakewood?

    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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood?

    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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood?

    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 Lakewood?

    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 Lakewood?

    Many Lakewood, CA 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 Lakewood?

    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.
