When Should I Get Tested for STDs?

In Yakima County, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most commonly reported STDs, so those are the infections most likely to come up when you test. If a partner disclosed an STD or suggested testing, getting screened promptly helps you get clear answers and decide on next steps together. Many STDs have no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know your status. The CDC recommends routine screening based on age and risk, and a health care provider can help you choose the right tests for your situation.

What Will Be Tested in an STD Panel?

Most STD panels test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Depending on your symptoms, sexual history, and the body site tested, a provider may also add hepatitis or herpes testing.

The sample type depends on the test ordered. You may give a urine sample, have blood drawn, or have a swab taken from the throat, rectum, genitals, or a sore.

  2. Give a urine sample, blood sample, or swab, depending on the tests ordered.
