Step
3

Based on your symptoms and exposure, your provider may recommend urine, blood, or swab testing, or further evaluation to get real answers.

Step
4

Get Ongoing Guidance

Your care continues after testing. Our team helps explain results, treatment paths, partner considerations, and any next steps you need.

When Should I Get Tested?

There’s no single answer it comes down to which infection you’re concerned about, how long ago exposure happened, and what symptoms (if any) have shown up. Some infections are detectable almost right away; others take longer before results are trustworthy. Expect your provider to ask about your exposure window, current symptoms, testing history, pregnancy status, and whether a partner has tested positive. Depending on your situation, testing might mean a urine sample, bloodwork, or a swab, and a second round of testing down the line isn’t unusual. Richton Park patients get a plan shaped around their specific timeline and circumstances.

Talk to Your Provider About

The tests that make sense for you
How long to wait before testing
What kind of sample gets collected
What your results are actually telling you
Whether it’s worth testing again later
Symptoms that shouldn’t wait

Your care plan should follow your body, not a script. From testing through treatment, your provider is there to explain prevention, results, and what your partner may need to know too.

Our STI and STD Testing Services Include

General STI Screening

Plenty of infections stay silent at first. A baseline screen, shaped by your history and risk factors, can catch what symptoms alone might miss.

Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Screening

A urine sample or swab usually does the job here. Your provider decides which one makes the most sense given your history.

HIV Screening

Sometimes this is part of a routine visit, sometimes it follows a specific exposure. Either way, your provider covers timing, what results mean, and where to go from there.

Syphilis Screening

One blood draw can screen for syphilis. Whether it’s recommended depends on your symptoms, pregnancy status, past exposures, and prior test history.

Symptom-Based Testing

Unusual discharge, sores, pelvic pain, burning, or irritation are worth a closer look testing, an exam, treatment, or all three.

Results, Treatment & Continued Care

From here, care might mean starting treatment, retesting to confirm, talking prevention, notifying a partner, or getting referred elsewhere for more support.

The Most Question We Got so Far

Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.

Is It Possible to Have an STI With No Symptoms at All?

Absolutely. Plenty of STIs don’t announce themselves. That’s exactly why screening gets recommended based on factors like age, sexual history, exposure risk, and pregnancy status — regardless of how you’re feeling day to day.

Is Telehealth an Option for STI Testing?

It can be. A lot of the process — talking through exposure, deciding what testing fits, reviewing results — happens just fine over video. Where it gets more hands-on, like blood draws or swabs, you’ll likely need to stop by in person, though some urine testing can be arranged remotely. Your provider will map out exactly what needs an office visit and what doesn’t.

My Test Came Back Positive — Now What?

First, take a breath — a positive result comes with a clear path forward, not just questions. Your provider will reach out to break down the diagnosis, lay out treatment options, and answer whatever’s on your mind. Depending on what you’re dealing with, that might mean medication, a follow-up test once treatment’s done, or support figuring out how to loop in a partner. You won’t be figuring any of it out solo.
