Get Tested Today: Confidential STD Testing for Everyone

At Elite Urgent Care, your health and peace of mind are our top priorities. Deciding whether you should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) often depends on your personal risk factors and sexual history. If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner—especially if you are unsure of their sexual health status—STD testing is recommended. Testing is also important if you or your partner have multiple sexual partners, or if you are beginning a new relationship and want to ensure both of you are healthy.
 
It’s important to remember that many STDs can be present without any symptoms. Even if you feel well, you could still be at risk. However, certain signs such as unusual discharge, pain during urination or sex, sores, rashes, or unexplained abdominal pain may suggest the need for testing. If a current or previous partner has informed you of an STD diagnosis, you should get tested as soon as possible.
 
Routine screenings may be recommended for specific groups, including sexually active women under 25, men who have sex with men, and anyone with a history of STDs. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, STD testing is essential to protect both your health and your baby’s health.
 
If you are unsure or concerned about your sexual health, the compassionate medical team at Elite Urgent Care is here for you. Our providers can help assess your risk factors, recommend appropriate tests, and guide you based on the latest medical guidelines.
 
Don’t wait for symptoms—regular communication, honest disclosure, and proactive testing are vital steps in maintaining your sexual health. Visit Elite Urgent Care today for confidential, judgment-free STD testing and expert care.

At Elite Urgent Care, we understand that privacy is a top priority when it comes to sexual health. That’s why we offer confidential STD testing that safeguards your personal and medical information in accordance with strict privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
 
When you choose Elite Urgent Care for your STD testing, you can rest assured that your results and related health information are only accessible to you and our trusted medical professionals. We do not share your results with employers, schools, or family members without your explicit consent, so you remain in control of your health information at all times.
 
To further protect your privacy, we offer discreet appointment scheduling—both in-person and online—allowing you to visit us at your convenience. Our compassionate and professional staff are specially trained to handle sensitive information with the utmost respect, creating a judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable and cared for.

At Elite Urgent Care, we make it easy and convenient to get tested for the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)—often in a single visit. Our experienced medical team offers comprehensive STD screening panels that can check for infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and, in some cases, hepatitis B and C, as well as herpes when appropriate.
 
Depending on the type of STD test, different samples may be required. At Elite Urgent Care, we may ask for a urine sample, a blood test, a physical exam, or swabs from specific areas as needed. To ensure you receive the most appropriate testing, our healthcare providers will discuss your sexual history, any symptoms you may be experiencing, and your specific concerns. This personalized approach helps us determine exactly which tests are right for you.

Please note that while most common STDs can be checked in one visit, certain infections—such as herpes—may require additional testing, especially if you do not have symptoms. Some results are available quickly, while others may take a few days.
 
If you are considering STD testing, Elite Urgent Care encourages you to call ahead and ask about which tests are available, or any special instructions before your appointment. Regular STD screening is a vital part of maintaining your overall health, especially if you have new or multiple partners.

If you think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease (STD), knowing when to get tested is crucial. At Elite Urgent Care, our providers are here to guide you through the process and provide confidential, compassionate care.
 
When Should You Get Tested?

The best time to test for an STD depends on the specific infection, as each has a different “window period”—the time between exposure and when a test can reliably detect the infection:

• Chlamydia & Gonorrhea: These can often be detected as early as 1 to 2 weeks after exposure.
• HIV: Reliable testing is usually possible 2 to 4 weeks after exposure, but in some cases, it may take longer.
• Syphilis: Testing becomes reliable about 3 weeks after exposure, but antibodies may take up to 12 weeks to appear.
• Herpes (HSV): Blood tests for antibodies are best performed after at least 4 to 6 weeks.
 
Why Visit Elite Urgent Care?

If you’ve had a possible exposure, visiting Elite Urgent Care allows you to receive personalized advice on the right timing for testing based on your specific situation. Our experienced healthcare professionals can help determine which tests you need and when, and answer any questions you may have.
 
In certain situations—such as potential HIV exposure—immediate care is critical. Elite Urgent Care offers prompt evaluation and can discuss post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which must be started within 72 hours of exposure for best effectiveness.
 
Follow-Up and Prevention
Even if your initial results are negative, our team may recommend follow-up testing to confirm your status, since some infections may not show up on tests right away. Early detection is key to effective treatment, reducing complications, and preventing further transmission.
