    Had an STD test done just to be safe. That can feel embarrassing. Everyone was professional. The receptionist, not sure of her name, but she was great, she was able to make us laugh in normal casual conversation which helped relax our nerves. The doctor and nurse were fast and efficient. Only recommendation (if even possible) would be same day results. The 3-day wait is nerve racking.

What is an STD Test?

STD tests are used to determine whether you have a sexually transmitted disease. You'll know if you need an STD test if you're sexually active and particularly if you have more than one partner or you don't use protection and you're experiencing symptoms of STDs. Some of the symptoms you might experience include burning when you pee and/or feeling the urge to pee a lot, unusual discharge from your penis or vagina, flu-like symptoms such as swollen glands, body aches, fever, and fatigue, and bumps or sores on or near your genitals, butt cheeks, or thighs. You could also experience irritation, pain, itching, or swelling in your vagina, penis, anus, or vulva. Whether you experience any of the above symptoms or not, it's important to get tested for STDs regularly because some of them can lead to infertility or other health issues.

An STD test might consist of a urine test, a cheek swab (for HIV), a blood test, and a physical exam in which the doctor looks at your genital area to check for rashes, sores, warts, discharge, or irritation. If you have sores, your doctor might take some fluid from it and any blisters you have. They might also use a swab to collect samples from your vagina, penis, cervix, urethra, anus, or throat.
