STD Screening involves testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to detect infections early, even when symptoms may not be present. Screening typically includes blood tests, urine tests, and swabs of affected areas. Early detection of STDs is key in preventing complications and reducing the risk of transmission to others. Regular testing is an essential part of maintaining sexual health, especially for individuals who are sexually active, have multiple partners, or have engaged in unprotected sex.
Testing can screen for a variety of STDs, including common infections like HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and others. At Excellence Primary Care, we provide discreet, fast, and accurate testing with the support and education needed to help you make informed decisions about your health.
How STD Screening Works
During your appointment, your provider will discuss your sexual health history, any potential symptoms, and your risk factors. Based on this information, they’ll recommend specific tests suited to your needs.
The screening process may involve:
- Blood tests to check for HIV, syphilis, and other infections
- Urine tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea
- Swab tests to detect infections like herpes or trichomoniasis
The entire process is quick and non-invasive. Your results will typically be available within a few days, and your provider will review the findings with you and discuss any necessary treatment or follow-up care.
Conditions STD Screening Can Help Detect
STD screening helps detect infections early, preventing further complications and transmission. Many sexually transmitted infections can be asymptomatic, so regular screening is crucial for overall health.
Common conditions detected and managed through STD screening include:
- HIV/AIDS
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- Herpes simplex virus (HSV)
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)

Routine screening for STDs is essential for maintaining sexual health and preventing the spread of infections. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, which can prevent long-term health issues and complications.
