The PA was extremely caring and thoroughly explained everything; receptionists were pleasant and spoke with kindness; nurse was attentive and sweet. Definitely a breath of fresh air where rudeness appears to be the norm these days. Highly recommend!

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.

I have been to Lani City Urgent Care many times and have always been happy with the results especially this time. Nurse practitioner Dilpreet Gill examined and diagnosed me with appendicitis.  She gave me a referral to the ER and within the next few hours I was in surgery getting my appendix removed. So thankful for Urgent Care,

Overview of STD Testing in Buena Park

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider regular STD testing, especially those with multiple sexual partners, those who have unprotected sex, or those who suspect they may have been exposed to an STD. It's important to remember that many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning you could be infected and not show any symptoms. Regular testing is a proactive way to maintain your health and the health of your partners.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not show symptoms but can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. Secondly, knowing your status can help prevent the spread of the disease to others. Lastly, early detection often leads to more effective treatment. According to the CDC, regular testing can help control the spread of STDs and lead to healthier communities.

Std testing options in Buena Park, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are excellent options for STD testing in Buena Park. They offer same-day and next-day appointments, and you can easily book through Solv's website and mobile app. One such clinic is Carbon Health in nearby Cerritos, CA, which has a high rating and convenient location.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another option for STD testing. They can provide comprehensive care and follow-up treatment if needed. If you have a primary care provider, consider discussing your sexual health and testing options with them.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Free STD testing is available at various community health centers in and around Buena Park. These centers provide essential services to those who may not have access to healthcare otherwise. It's important to check the availability and requirements of these centers as some may require proof of income.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another convenient option. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days.

Prevalence of STDs in Buena Park

Buena Park, located in Orange County, has seen a rise in STD cases over the past few years, mirroring a national trend according to the CDC. Nearby counties such as San Diego County and Los Angeles County have also reported similar increases. Factors contributing to this rise may include a lack of education about STDs, decreased use of protection, and increased rates of testing.

Risk factors related to STDs in Buena Park

Risk factors for STDs in Buena Park are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and a lack of regular testing. Other factors, such as substance abuse and lack of access to healthcare, may also contribute to the spread of STDs. It's important to understand these risk factors and take steps to protect yourself and others.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Buena Park?

    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 Buena Park 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 Buena Park?

    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 Buena Park 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 Buena Park?

    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 Buena Park?

    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 Buena Park?

    Many Buena Park, 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 Buena Park?

    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.
