When Should I Get Tested for STDs?

If you’re sexually active in La Verne, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most commonly reported STDs in Los Angeles County, so if you’re due for routine testing, those are the infections to prioritize. If a partner disclosed an STD or suggested testing, schedule a test even if you feel fine since many STDs have no symptoms and testing is the only way to know. The CDC recommends routine screening for sexually active adults based on age and risk, including screening after new partners or potential exposures. A health care provider can help you decide which tests match your situation.

What Will Be Tested in an STD Panel?

Most clinics can check for one infection or run a panel that covers the most common STDs. The visit is usually brief, and the sample type depends on which infections your provider wants to check.

Here’s what to expect when you go in for STD testing:

  1. Check in at the front desk or complete online registration.
  2. Provide a urine sample, blood sample, or swab, depending on the tests ordered.
  3. Wait for results, which are typically ready in one to three business days for lab-based tests.

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)

For general screening guidance on who should test and how often, you can review the CDC screening recommendations.
