Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), also known as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), are infections that spread through sexual contact. Many STIs show no symptoms, making regular testing crucial for sexually active individuals. An STI/STD Screening helps detect infections early, ensuring timely treatment and preventing the spread to others. It's an essential step toward safeguarding your reproductive and overall health.

🩺 What Is an STI/STD Screening?

An STI/STD Screening is a series of tests conducted to check for infections that can be transmitted through sexual activity. This comprehensive screening evaluates different types of STIs, including bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, some of which can have long-term health consequences if left untreated. Early detection can help avoid complications such as infertility, chronic pain, and the transmission of STIs to others.

🔍 What’s Included in an STI/STD Screening?

1. Medical History Review
  • – Discussion of sexual activity and risk factors (unprotected sex, multiple partners, etc.)
  • – Review of symptoms or past STI diagnoses
2. Physical Examination
  • – Visual check for any visible signs of infections (sores, bumps, unusual discharge)
  • – Pelvic exam for females to check for infections like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
3. Laboratory Testing
  • – Blood tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C
  • – Urine tests to detect gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other bacterial infections
  • – Swab tests from the cervix (females), urethra (males), or throat/anus if exposed to potential infections
  • – Pap smear (for females) to check for cervical abnormalities and HPV (human papillomavirus)
4. Specific STI Screenings
  • – HIV Test: Detects HIV infection early, before symptoms appear
  • – Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Test: Common bacterial STIs often show no symptoms but can cause long-term complications
  • – Syphilis Test: A blood test to detect syphilis, which can cause severe health issues if untreated
  • – Hepatitis Test: Blood tests for hepatitis B and C to monitor liver health
  • – Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Test: For women, checks for HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer
  • – Herpes Test: Blood test to check for the herpes simplex virus (HSV)
5. Counseling and Preventative Care
  • – Safe sex practices (condom use, regular screening)
  • – Vaccination options (HPV, Hepatitis B)
  • – Partner notification and communication support
