STD Testing Near Me?

 

STDs can be a touchy subject but the reality is, they are very common. So common, in fact, that the CDC reports over 20 million new infections every year.  This costs the United States health care system nearly $16 billion in direct medical costs alone. To add to this, it is understood that America’s youth carry the burden for this number, with around half of all new STD’s in the country occurring in young men and women. It therefore comes as no surprise in the age of the Internet, that one of the most searched terms online is ‘STD testing near me?’… Fortunately we have the answer to this all-important question as well as some modern solutions for a not so modern problem…

STD Testing Near Me?

This is perhaps the first question we ask, time is of the essence with a sexually transmitted disease and getting treatment as soon as possible is always advised. The most common and current way to seek treatment is to look for a local clinic that can perform urinal and/or blood tests such as an RPR test. Results will normally turn around within 24 hours and up to a week depending on how busy the clinic is and, ultimately, this is the most accurate way to confirm that an STD is present. Unfortunately for the doctors however, there is no real way of knowing if the patient is suffering from an STD without performing these tests, which can cost time and money to perform. Technology is now looking to streamline this process so that your doctors can work more efficiently.
