Why Should Albuquerque Residents Get Tested?

According to a recent study by the New Mexico Department of Health, New Mexico had the fifth highest rate of chlamydia and 12th highest rate of syphilis in the country. From 2015 to 2016, for example, the state saw a 61 percent increase in syphilis rates. Syphilis can be treated when caught early enough, but can cause severe issues and even death if left untreated for a long duration. As statistics continue to trend upwards in New Mexico and across the country, it’s more important than ever that adults seek out reputable STD testing services and get tested when appropriate.

How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of testing depends on the type and/or number of tests you’re wishing to have conducted. Our individual tests (chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes I/II, HIV 1 and 2, syphilis, and trichomoniasis) run between $49 and $109 each. We also offer a twin panel test for chlamydia and gonorrhea which costs $129 (a savings of $49) as well as an all-in-one ten-panel test which costs $198 (a savings of $405). For a complete list of test options, visit our “Tests & Pricing” page.

Where in Albuquerque Can I Get Tested?

We have more than 4,000 testing sites across the country, including nine in Albuquerque alone and several more just a short drive away. Centers are open from 6:00 am to 6:30 pm on weekdays and 7:00 am to noon on Saturday. To find additional labs in the area, visit our “Find A Lab” page and enter a five-digit zip code. If you have any questions, our care counselors are standing by to assist.

We Are Better Than A “Free Clinic”

At each one of our Albuquerque testing centers, we go out of our way to create a comfortable environment for our patients. You won’t have to wait in long lines or get stuck in overcrowded waiting rooms. We don’t use invasive or inaccurate testing procedures. And we’ll never do anything to jeopardize your trust in our services. Our goal is to keep your tests and results completely confidential and off of your permanent medical record which is why we will never report anything to your healthcare provider. Free STD testing services cannot offer the same level of discretion, speed, or accuracy, which is what sets our service apart from the rest.

Why Choose Priority STD Testing in Albuquerque, NM

Same Day Testing

We do not wish to waste your valuable time. We provide our patients same day testing and make sure that the process, start to finish, is simple, convenient and fast. In fact, most patients are in and out of the testing facility in less than a half hour. And, unlike other services, we will never mail or fax your order to the location. This means that you can be tested as soon as your order is placed without having to wait. And, of course, your personal details will be kept protected and confidential all throughout the whole process.

Completely Confidential

Throughout this process, we promise to honor your privacy. We will never reach out to you directly in the absence of your consent and we take every single precaution available to keep your online information 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

The testing process at various other facilities can be uneasy and even humiliating. You shouldn’t have to endanger your right to personal privacy when it comes to getting checked, and with our facilities, you never will. You will not be singled out for any reason or openly associated in any way with the reason for your visit. As for any person within earshot is concerned, you’re visiting for nothing more than a straightforward blood and urine test.

Fast and Accurate Results

You do not need 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 initial visit. In addition, every one of our testing procedures are FDA approved and conducted in CLIA certified laboratories, so you can be sure that your results are clear and definitive. We strive for complete accuracy when it involves our patients’ results. As soon as your results are compiled, you’ll be able to quickly access your information swiftly and securely via an encrypted login.

Treatment Options

Unlike various other testing services, we provide treatment options to patients who test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. If you receive a positive result, just call to talk to a care counselor who will help in scheduling a phone consult with one of our doctors. No office visits are required, and your medicine is sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice. In nearly all cases, medicine is available the same day.

Comprehensive Tests

Understanding which tests are right for your situation is crucial. Frequently, not all conditions are tested for when you see your physician or a public medical clinic. We provide a variety of testing options for multiple 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 address your questions concerning STD symptoms and the different kinds of STD tests that we provide.

FAQs

Do you take walk-ins?

To get same day testing, simply purchase your lab order either online from our website or over the phone with one of our care counselors. Once your order has been placed, you can get tested immediately at any of our local and discreet collection facilities without an appointment. No other patients at the testing center will know your reason for visiting other than to give a routine urine and blood sample.

Which antibodies can a serology test detect?

Currently, a serology test can measure two antibodies: IgM and IgG.

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is produced as the body’s first response to a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Generally, IgM may provide short-term protection and can help tell if an individual has been recently infected. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have IgM antibodies are protected against future SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody. It’s made several days to weeks after being exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Generally, IgG remains in the body and may provide long-term protection against future exposure. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have IgG antibodies are protected against future SARS-CoV-2 infections.

How long do chlamydia symptoms last after treatment?

Those experiencing chlamydia symptoms will generally see them subside within a few days of beginning a treatment regimen. And typically, a person will be completely free of the infection within a week. During your treatment, you’re advised to abstain from sexual activity just in case you are still contagious. Once some time has passed, you’ll want to test again just to confirm that you are chlamydia free. And remember, just because you’ve been cured of chlamydia once does not give you any sort of “chlamydia immunity”. It is very possible to contract chlamydia more than once in a lifetime.

How do I get my test results?

Your test results are accessible through a secure login unique to your order, updated 24 hours a day including partial results. Once your final results are available, you'll be notified by email discreetly. Test results are expedited as a rush order and typically process just 24-72 hours after visiting the collection facility. If you have questions about your results or require a treatment consult, our care counselors are just a phone call away. Nothing will ever be sent to your home or healthcare provider to respect your privacy.
