Why Choose Priority STD Testing in Menlo Park, CA

Same Day Testing

Your time is important, which is why we provide same day testing. No consultations are required after your test has been ordered, and the testing process itself takes just minutes. Unlike other testing solutions, we will never fax or mail your lab order to the collection facility. This means you can get tested instantly after your order has been placed and know that your personal information is kept safe and encrypted.

Completely Confidential

We pledge to respect your privacy through this process. At no point will we reach out to you directly without your authorization and we take any available precaution to guarantee that your online details remains obtainable to you and only you via a protected login. All services offered by Priority STD Testing are HIPAA compliant which means that, by law, access to your personal health information is yours alone.

Discreet Locations

When you need to get examined, you should have personal privacy and sensitivity with regard to the testing facility and its staff. Visiting a public clinic, health department, and even your physician for STD testing can frequently be an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience. With Priority STD Testing’s private collection centers, no person will know the purpose for your visit and you will never be singled out for any reason.

Fast and Accurate Results

You do not have to wait around for weeks while your test results are processed. With our process, you’ll have your results in as little as 1 day after your first visit. Furthermore, every one of our testing procedures are FDA approved and carried out in CLIA certified laboratories, so you can be certain that your results are clear and definitive. We strive for total accuracy when it involves our patients’ results. When your results are compiled, you’ll have the ability to conveniently access your information quickly and securely using an encrypted login.

Treatment Options

Our care counselors are readily available to review treatment choices for patients who test positive for gonorrhea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis. We’ll work with you to organize a phone consult with one of our doctors to authorize the right treatment. Office visits are not needed. Appropriate medications are readily available, in many cases, the same day and can be picked up at your neighborhood pharmacy.

Comprehensive Tests

Knowing which tests are right for your situation is very important. Many times, not all diseases are tested for when you visit your doctor or a public medical clinic. We offer a wide variety of testing options for several diseases such as HIV, oral herpes (HSV1), genital herpes (HSV2), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and trichomoniasis. Our care counselors are available to answer your questions concerning STD symptoms and the different types of STD tests that we offer.

FAQs

Is a swab required for testing?

Patients frequently ask if swabs are required for testing. Swab testing is not only uncomfortable, but also can be embarrassing. Our tests do not require a swab or any other type of visual examination. All that is needed is a simple urine and blood sample.

What does “sensitivity” mean? What does “specificity” mean?

Sensitivity and specificity are different and complementary measures to inform doctors and patients about the accuracy of a test. A good test has both high sensitivity and high specificity. Sensitivity is a measure of how well a test is able to detect people who are infected (positive cases). If a person has an infection, a test with 100% sensitivity can accurately detect it wit ha positive result. Specificity is a measure of how well a test can detect people who are NOT infected (negative cases). If a person does not have an infection, a test with 100% specificity can accurately detect it with a negative result.

How accurate are my test results?

All of the tests we offer are FDA approved and performed in CLIA certified labs to ensure the highest level of accuracy. Some STDs require that you wait a period of time after sexual contact before getting tested. Each disease has a different latency period, so understanding when to test is important. If you have questions, our care counselors are happy to walk you through the process, start to finish.

When should I get tested again?

The frequency with which people should get tested depends on your sexual activity and the specific STD/STI. As recommended by the CDC, HIV testing is recommended at least once for people between the ages of 13 and 64. Women should be tested every year for chlamydia and gonorrhea if they are 25 years old or younger and should continue testing if they have new, multiple or high-risk sexual partners. The CDC recommends specific testing for pregnant women and sexually active gay or bisexual men such as HIV and syphilis testing. Finally, HIV tested should be a yearly priority for individuals who use unsafe or shared needles.
