When Should I Get Tested for STDs?

Routine screening is one of the most effective ways to stay on top of your sexual health, even when you feel fine. Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) cause no symptoms at all, so testing is the only reliable way to know your status. You may also want to get tested after unprotected sex, when starting a relationship with a new partner, or if a partner has been diagnosed with an STI. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes screening recommendations that can help you and your provider decide how often to test.

What Will Be Tested in an STD Panel?

A provider can recommend a single test or a panel based on your symptoms, partners, and recent sexual history.

A routine STD panel may include:
– Chlamydia
– Gonorrhea
– HIV 1 and 2
– Syphilis

A full-panel STD test may also include:
– Herpes (oral, genital)
– Hepatitis (A, B, C)
