STD Testing in Monument, Colorado

It is possible that couples testing can result in one partner receiving a positive result and the other a negative result. This can be due to low exposure to the STD/STI or the incubation period unique to each. The incubation period is the time frame between exposure and symptoms when the bacteria or virus is undetectable by lab tests. Due to this, it is important to be mindful of the incubation period of the particular illness which you are testing for and when to schedule your test. This will achieve the most accurate results. 

Men and women also have different levels of risk for transmission--depending on the illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), women are more at risk for contracting an STD in general. This is due to the thinner membrane and moist environment of the vagina, making it easier to breed infection. Meanwhile, the penis does not have such delicate membranes. However, over 80% of all the newly reported HIV cases within the US in 2017 were among men. This statistic is even higher for HIV cases that were transmitted via male-to-male sexual contact. For this reason, keeping the risks for your demographic in mind is a great way to remain proactive about sexual health.  

Some physicians may prescribe the medication for the ailment, despite negative test results. They may also recommend later testing to avoid the incubation period. This is especially true for infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea that are easily treated but have serious consequences if ignored. For example, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most common root-causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause multiple complications including infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
