Why Choose Priority STD Testing in Metairie, LA

Same Day Testing

Your time is valuable, which is why we offer same day testing. No scheduled visits are required after your test has been purchased, and the testing process itself takes just minutes. Unlike other 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 and know that your information is kept secure and encrypted.

Completely Confidential

Through this process, we promise to respect your privacy. We will never reach out to you directly in the absence of your consent and we take every single safety measure available to keep your online details secure. Your encrypted online account is available to you and only you. All services offered by Priority STD Testing are HIPAA compliant which means that, by law, access to your private health information is yours alone.

Discreet Locations

Public clinics or health departments supplying free STD screening provide little privacy when it involves your sexual health and wellness. Going to your physician can be awkward and even raise questions as to the reason for your visit by others. Our confidential collection centers are nondescript, meaning you will never be singled out for getting an STD examination. No other patients will know the reason for your visit other than to provide a routine blood and urine sample.

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 24 hours after your initial visit. In addition, all of our testing procedures are FDA approved and carried out in CLIA certified laboratories, so you can be sure that your results are clear and conclusive. We strive for complete accuracy when it concerns our patients’ results. When your results are compiled, you’ll have the ability to quickly access your information quickly and securely via an encrypted login.

Treatment Options

For patients that test positive for gonorrhea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis, our care counselors are available to discuss treatment options. We’ll work with you to arrange a phone consult with a doctor and get the medications you require sent out to your preferred pharmacy. In many cases, medications are available the same day.

Comprehensive Tests

In many cases, not all diseases are tested for in a physician’s office or public clinic. It is very important to know which tests are right for your particular circumstance. We provide a wide range of testing options for several diseases such as HIV, oral herpes (HSV1), genital herpes (HSV2), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and trichomoniasis. As always, our care counselors are on call to address any concerns you may have about STD symptoms and the tests we offer.

FAQs

How do I know what type of test I should take?

If at any point you need assistance, call us at 1-888-211-2365 and one of our care counselors will assist you with any questions you may have regarding your testing options. We offer both customized tests and comprehensive panels to fit your testing needs.

My results are negative but I still have symptoms. What should I do?

If your results come back negative, but you are still experiencing symptoms, you should see a doctor or call our care counselors. With the help of a health care physician, the underlying cause of such symptoms can be discovered and proper treatment can be established.

Do I need to fast before getting tested?

No fasting is required for any type of test we offer. If you are testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis, please ensure that you have not urinated for at least one hour prior to visiting the testing center.

My partner is positive, but I tested negative. How is this possible?

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.
