What Are STD Tests and Why Are They Important?
STD tests are lab screenings that check for infections passed through sexual contact.
They help detect infections early, even when no symptoms are present, so that treatment can begin quickly and serious health issues can be avoided.
There are many types of sexually transmitted infections. For awareness, here are some of the most common STDs affecting men and women:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2)
- Syphilis
- HIV
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
- Trichomoniasis
- Hepatitis B & C
At First Choice Immediate Care, we currently offer testing for two of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): Herpes and Gonorrhea.
These infections often go unnoticed without testing and can result in complications if not treated. Our urgent care clinics offer a confidential, walk-in environment for safe, judgment-free testing.
STD vs. STI – What’s the Difference?
Although often used interchangeably, there’s a subtle difference.
STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) refers to a condition with visible symptoms, while STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) refers to the infection itself, which may or may not cause noticeable symptoms.
In either case, testing helps identify the presence of infection early so you can take action.
Most Common STDs We Test For at Urgent Care
At First Choice Immediate Care, we currently test for:
- Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 & HSV-2)
- Gonorrhea
These two infections are widespread, often show no symptoms at first, and can lead to complications if left untreated. Testing is the safest way to stay informed and protect your health.
STD Tests at Urgent Care, Emergency Room VS Private Practice
Urgent care offers the best balance of speed, cost, and comfort:
Emergency Rooms: Designed for life-threatening cases. Testing here is expensive and slow for non-emergencies.
Private Practice: May have long wait times or limited hours. Often requires prior appointments.
Urgent Care (like us): Offers walk-in availability, same-day results, and affordable prices. Our clinic combines modern technology with patient-focused attention, making it ideal for quick, discreet STD testing.
Urgent Care STD Testing Procedure
At First Choice Immediate Care, the testing process is simple:
- Check in; no appointment required.
- Brief consultation with a licensed provider
- Sample collection (blood or swab, depending on the test)
- On-site testing or secure lab processing
- Follow-up and treatment guidance if necessary
Everything is handled discreetly and professionally. You’ll receive your results within a few days, sometimes even sooner.
How Long Does an STD Take to Show Up?
Gonorrhea: Typically shows up within 2 to 7 days after exposure
Herpes: Symptoms can appear in 2 to 12 days, though some people may never experience visible signs
Our medical team will help you decide the best testing window based on your symptoms and timeline.
Protect Your Health. Know Your Status.
Gonorrhea and Herpes are highly treatable or manageable, especially when caught early. Our team is here to help you take control of your health with non-judgmental, professional care; all in one visit.
When to Get Tested for STDs?
Consider testing if:
- You’ve had unprotected sex
- You notice symptoms like discharge or sores
- A partner has tested positive
- You’re starting a new relationship
- You simply want peace of mind
No symptoms? No problem. Testing is still the best way to protect yourself and others.
Types of Sexually Transmitted Diseases – Know What We Test For
Many types of STDs exist, but at First Choice Immediate Care, we currently specialise in testing for:
Gonorrhea: a bacterial infection spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex
