and urinary tract infections. We offer diagnosis and treatment of

How do you
test for STDs?
Some STDs are diagnosed using urine and blood samples. Other STDs
are diagnosed by using a microscope.
Women are tested for many STDs by taking a sample using a
cotton swab as part of a pelvic exam. To test men, for certain STDs,
a urine sample is needed. Other tests may require that a blood sample
be taken.
Who should be tested for STDs?
Anyone who is sexually active should consider being tested for STDs.
Doctors often don’t test for STDs as part of a routine exam
unless the client reports symptoms. Many STDs don’t have symptoms.
