Common chlamydia symptoms include unusual penile/vaginal discharge and burning or discomfort while urinating (neither of which are particularly unique to chlamydia, mind you). More often than not, however, the first sign of chlamydia symptoms is...nothing. No symptoms whatsoever. While the complete absence of irritating and/or painful symptoms might sound like a relief, keep in mind that it does make chlamydia difficult to self-diagnose without a proper test. And even if chlamydia symptoms are not present, those carrying the infection are likely just as contagious as those who are symptomatic.

In Columbus, you can find a variety of STD tests available to meet your needs. Some of the common types of STD tests offered include:

1. Individual tests for specific STDs such as:
- Chlamydia ($89)
- Gonorrhea ($89)
- Hepatitis B ($59)
- Hepatitis C ($59)
- Herpes I/II ($99)
- HIV 1/2 ($79)
- Syphilis ($69)
- Trichomoniasis ($109)
- HIV RNA Early Detection ($169)

2. Panel tests that test for multiple STDs at once, such as:
- Twin STD Panel
- 10-Panel STD Test

These panel tests are comprehensive and cover a wide range of common STDs, providing a more comprehensive screening option.

When choosing the type of STD test in Columbus, consider your risk factors, symptoms, and testing preferences. It's essential to discuss your options with a healthcare provider or testing facility to determine the most suitable test for your needs.

Serology tests are collected through a blood sample (such as from a finger prick or needle draw). Molecular (PCR) tests are collected through the nose with a swab. The swab takes nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. This can also be done by a saliva test.

Why Should You Choose Priority STD Testing?

Same Day Testing

Your time is important, which is why we offer same day STD testing at over 4,000 private collection facilities nationwide. No appointments are required after your test has been ordered, and the testing process itself takes just minutes. Unlike other STI testing services, we will never fax or mail your lab order to the collection facility. This means you can get tested immediately after your order has been placed, knowing that your information is kept secure and encrypted.

Completely Confidential

We understand the need for privacy when it comes to your sexual health. Our service is HIPAA compliant, and absolutely nothing will be mailed to your home or reported to your healthcare provider. We will never contact you directly without prior consent, and your privacy is respected every step of the way when you get tested with us. Our business name or anything related to STD testing will not appear on your bank or credit billing statements after your test has been ordered.

Discreet Locations

Public clinics or health departments offering free STD testing provide little privacy when it comes to your sexual health. Going to your physician can be embarrassing and even raise questions as to the reason for your visit by others. Our private collection facilities are non-descript, meaning you will never be singled out for getting an STD test. Whether you are getting an HIV test or a herpes test, no other patients will know the reason for your visit other than to provide a routine blood and urine sample.

Fast and Accurate Results

We aim to provide the fastest and most accurate sexually transmitted disease test results to our patients. All of our tests are FDA approved and performed in CLIA certified laboratories, so you can rest easy knowing your results are accurate and conclusive. Once your sample has been collected, results are expedited as a rush order and typically process in just 24-72 hours. You can access your results online 24 hours a day or by calling one of our care counselors.

Treatment Options

Unlike other testing services, we offer treatment options to patients who test positive for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Trichomoniasis. If you receive a positive result, simply call to speak with a care counselor who will assist in scheduling a phone consult with one of our physicians. No office visits are required, and your medication is sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice. In almost all cases, medication is available the same day.

Comprehensive Tests

Understanding which tests are right for your circumstance is important. Often times, not all sexually transmitted diseases are tested for when you visit your doctor or a public clinic. We offer a wide variety of testing options for multiple diseases such as HIV, Oral Herpes (HSV1), Genital Herpes (HSV2), Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Trichomoniasis. Our care counselors are available to answer your questions about STD symptoms and the different types of STD tests that we offer.
