5 Reasons You Should Visit an STD Testing Center


Are you having sex? Well, good for you! But are you being safe and responsible about it? Hopefully you are. But, if you are not, you should know, you may be at risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). And in case you didn't realize it, STD's can lead to some major health issues. Here are five more reasons you might want to visit your local std testing center for screening.

No symptoms doesn't mean you are STD free

So, say you are sexually active. You may have been a little careless, but you've shown no symptoms of having an infection. You feel fine! Well, don't be fooled.

Almost all STD's can be asymptomatic (showing no symptoms). Just as an example, some women can carry a Chlamydia infection for years, and only discover they have it through routine screening during pregnancy. Chlamydia can have several adverse effects on a pregnancy including low birth weight and premature delivery.

You may be the only monogamous partner in your relationship

It's a fact of life. Men and women both cheat. You can control your actions, but not the actions of your partner. And since you can control only your own actions, you can do the responsible thing and be tested.

And all you married people beware. Being married doesn't mean you are exempt from testing. You may think you "know" your partner, but statistics of married folks show that around 70% women and 54% of men had no idea of their spouses' extramarital activity. Why take the chance?

Weird symptoms

Bumps, lesions, or rashes down there might mean you have a problem. Other things to look out for are discharge from the penis or vagina, and pelvic pain. This is not a conclusive list. Each STD has its own unique symptoms to watch out for. Perform your due diligence and brush up on symptoms of herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and HPV.

If you do experience any of these symptoms, get yourself to an std testing center to be screened. When caught early, the damage to your body can be minimal.

Condom failure

Whether you failed to use a condom, or the condom actually failed (broke), you could be at risk for contracting an STD.

Did you know even if you use a condom, it still may not prevent an infection every single time. Some people may use them incorrectly, or use the wrong kind (latex is best for std prevention). Others may be using expired condoms (yes, condoms have an expiration date).

Starting a new intimate relationship

If you are in a budding new romance and are thinking of taking that next step, wouldn't it be nice to take it with a clean slate? What could be worse than to finally have sex with that special someone only to discover you have unknowingly passed on an STD to him/her? What a relationship killer!

And while you are at it, you should probably insist that your potential sexual partner be tested as well. You could make a date of it. You and your partner could make a date to visit your local std testing center together!

What You Should Know About STD Testing


Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs can infect anyone who is sexually active. As long as you do not practice unprotected sex, you may be the next victim of this deadly disease. Most people barely have a basic knowledge of STD symptoms and its treatment. It is not enough to know these basics. What is important is that once you are aware that you may have STD symptoms it is best that you undergo STD testing. This is the next best step in prevention of this disease. As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

STD testing is the best way to know if you are infected with this disease. Some STDs display symptoms that are similar to the common diseases like flu, diarrhea or the common allergy. Some STDs do not show any symptoms at all and manifest their effects after a very long period of time. Until then you are kept guessing if you have it or you don't. The best way is to consult your doctor or health provider if you suspect that you were exposed and show symptoms of the disease. Go for STD testing so you will be able to determine the proper treatment of STDs.

Genital Warts. There are two types of warts - high-risk and low-risk. The doctor will take a visual inspection of the affected area to determine what type of wart is afflicting the patient. Some warts are not visible to the human eye that is why during the examination the doctor will swab the affected area with acetic acid to make small warts visible. This strain of warts can lead to cervical cancer so it is important to have regular Pap smear tests for women.

Herpes. Although there are two types, the more lethal cases are caused by the HSV-2. Since there are no visible symptoms, patients will need to undergo a physical exam and a blood test.

Chlamydia. A pelvic exam and a swab test will be given by the doctor to the suspecting patient. A cervical swab will be applied to the cervix and this will be sent to a laboratory to test for signs of bacteria causing Chlamydia.

Gonorrhea. A physical exam as well as a culture test will be taken from the patient. Samples of the green or yellow discharge will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of bacteria. A urine test may also be taken but some results may not be accurate.

Syphilis. Early detection of this disease is the appearance of sores and rashes. Since this disease occurs in stages, different tests are taken for every stage. During the early stages, a physical exam and samples of the fluid taken from the sores are required. In the second stage, the lymph glands will be checked as well as signs for body rash. A blood test will be required to look for the anti-bodies of the syphilis bacteria. In the latter stages, a Cerebrospinal Fluid Test will be taken. This procedure will involve extraction of spinal fluids to determine the extent of the infection.

Any man-single or married, straight or gay-has the tendency to acquire a certain infection if they do not practice safe sex.

Though accepting that an individual has a certain STD can be painful and embarrassing, taking the positive step is always the best thing to do. If not, it will just lead to cancer or infertility if remained untreated.

But still, as an old adage goes, prevention is better than cure.

Check Out the Symptoms to Understand When Should You Go Test For STDs


Do you know how important it is to go for regular check ups? You must go to the physician as well as to some specialists once a year. You must also have an appointment with a good gynecologist.

Other than this, there might be unusual looking discharge from that area. At this point of time if you engage yourself in a physical relationship your partner will also have a higher chance of getting the disease.

Genital herpes is one of the common STDs. You must also be aware of the gonorrhea signs which are also common in STD. Chlamydia testing for man is also equally important. The doctors usually do not go for the tests unless you ask them to do so.

Herpes. Although there are two types, the more lethal cases are caused by the HSV-2. Since there are no visible symptoms, patients will need to undergo a physical exam and a blood test.

Chlamydia. A pelvic exam and a swab test will be given by the doctor to the suspecting patient. A cervical swab will be applied to the cervix and this will be sent to a laboratory to test for signs of bacteria causing Chlamydia.

Gonorrhea. A physical exam as well as a culture test will be taken from the patient. Samples of the green or yellow discharge will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of bacteria. A urine test may also be taken but some results may not be accurate.

Syphilis. Early detection of this disease is the appearance of sores and rashes. Since this disease occurs in stages, different tests are taken for every stage. During the early stages, a physical exam and samples of the fluid taken from the sores are required. In the second stage, the lymph glands will be checked as well as signs for body rash. A blood test will be required to look for the anti-bodies of the syphilis bacteria. In the latter stages, a Cerebrospinal Fluid Test will be taken. This procedure will involve extraction of spinal fluids to determine the extent of the infection.
