Patient First Primary and Urgent Care , Chester - 12101 S Chalkley Rd, Chester
I drove up and the parking lot was completely full. My thoughts were that there would be a long wait. Walked in and only a few people in the waiting room. I was checked in within 5 mnutes of my arrival. I was seen within 10 minutes of arriving. The doctor came in within 5 minutes of my being put into a patient area. The doctor (whose name I do not remember and I have thrown away all paperwork) was extremely nice. He reminds me of the doctors that people remark, "He has such a good bedside manner." First impressions with patients really do matter. And he gave a very good first impression. He was professionally and friendly and an excellent communicator. He provided an ancedote on what I was experiencing. That really helped. I have been to this Patient First before and have taken a good friend there. Each time has been a good experience. The staff are nice and each doctor that I have seen is friendly and able to diagnosis the problem. I like this Patient First better than my Primary Care Physician and have even inquired as to using them as my PCP. I was in and out within 30 minutes and recommend them highly.

Patient First Primary and Urgent Care , Genito - 11020 Hull St Rd, Midlothian
It was the best! My husband was very sick, he HATES going to the doctor, so when he asked to make him a doctors appointment, I know it's serious. Since we live so far away I called and got the tele-health visit. Filled out the request, someone called me back almost immediately, my wait time for the doctor was less than 5 minutes and she was wonderful. Will definately use this system again. Hubby is on his way to recovery! Thank you Patient First!

Getting Tested for STDs in Petersburg, VA

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider regular STD testing as part of their overall health routine. This is particularly important for those who have multiple sexual partners, engage in unprotected sex, or have a partner who has tested positive for an STD. According to the CDC, sexually active women under the age of 25, men who have sex with men, and individuals with HIV should get tested at least once a year.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not show symptoms, meaning you could be infected and unknowingly passing it onto others. Secondly, untreated STDs can lead to serious health complications, including infertility, certain cancers, and increased risk of contracting HIV. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of these complications.

Std testing options in Petersburg, VA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer convenient, same-day STD testing. BetterMed Urgent Care in Midlothian and Prince George are two local options with positive reviews. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also conduct STD tests and provide treatment options. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in your area.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or with limited income, free STD testing may be available at local community health centers. It's important to check with each center regarding their testing policies and availability.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing kits are another option, providing privacy and convenience. These kits can be ordered online, completed at home, and sent back to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of STDs in Petersburg

Petersburg, located in Prince George County, has seen a rise in STD rates over recent years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, the most common STDs in the area are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The prevalence of these STDs is higher in Petersburg compared to nearby cities such as Colonial Heights, Ettrick, and Fort Lee.

Risk factors related to STDs in Petersburg

Several risk factors contribute to the high STD rates in Petersburg. These include a lack of sexual health education, limited access to healthcare, and socioeconomic factors such as poverty and drug use. Furthermore, stigma around STD testing can prevent individuals from seeking testing and treatment. Addressing these risk factors is crucial in reducing the prevalence of STDs in Petersburg.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Petersburg?

    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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg?

    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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg?

    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 Petersburg?

    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 Petersburg?

    Many Petersburg, VA 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 Petersburg?

    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.
