In Tacoma, a variety of STD tests are available to help you screen for and detect different sexually transmitted infections. Here are some of the types of STD tests you can access in Tacoma:
1. Chlamydia Test ($89): This test checks for the presence of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, which can cause the common sexually transmitted infection Chlamydia. It is a common STI that can be easily treated with antibiotics.
2. Gonorrhea Test ($89): This test screens for the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes Gonorrhea. Like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea is a common STI that can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
3. Hepatitis B Test ($59): This test detects the presence of the Hepatitis B virus in your blood. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth.
4. Hepatitis C Test ($59): This test checks for the presence of the Hepatitis C virus in your blood. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can lead to liver damage and other serious health problems if left untreated.
5. Herpes I/II Test ($99): This test can detect the presence of antibodies to the Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 and 2. Herpes is a common viral infection that can cause genital herpes (HSV-2) or oral herpes (HSV-1).
6. HIV 1/2 Test ($79): This test screens for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus types 1 and 2, which can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if left untreated. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing HIV.
7. Syphilis Test ($69): This test checks for antibodies to the bacterium Treponema pallidum, which causes Syphilis. Syphilis is a serious STI that can progress through different stages if not treated promptly.
8. Trichomoniasis Test ($109): This test detects the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes Trichomoniasis. This STI is common and can be treated with antibiotics.
9. HIV RNA Early Detection Test ($169): This test detects the genetic material of the HIV virus within days of infection, offering early detection before antibodies are produced. Early diagnosis of HIV is crucial for timely intervention and treatment.
These tests can be taken individually or combined into panels for comprehensive STD testing. If you have specific concerns or risk factors, it's important to discuss your testing options with a healthcare provider or a testing center in Tacoma.

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.

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.
