Perhaps you have recently had a sexual encounter where your partner did not disclose their sexual health status. If this is the case, you may want to get tested even if you are not showing symptoms. The most crucial part of STD prevention is having conversations before intimacy about your infection status. We know that this does not always happen, which is why we encourage you to get examined right away. Getting this done as soon as possible allows us to get you treated in the event that your tests come back positive.
Safety Through Testing
When you are concerned that you may have contracted an STD or STI, getting tested right away can give you the clarity you need. Diagnosing these diseases early is the best way to combat their symptoms.
Swabs
Your provider will apply a soft swab to the inside of your throat. If rectal or vaginal swabs are needed, these swabs are self-administered for your comfort.
Urine Test
Checking your urine for infection is another way we can test you for STDs. This form of testing is easy and non-invasive.

Incurable STDs
There are 3 diseases that are permanent. These include:
- Herpes simplex 1 and 2
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS)
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
While treatment cannot completely cure you of these conditions, it can make living with your symptoms much easier. We may recommend antiviral medication, which can prevent the continued development of your STDs.
HIV, in particular, must be addressed quickly so that it has a lower chance of progressing to AIDS. One method of avoiding HIV altogether is by using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) if you are a part of the population vulnerable to the disease. HPV also has a method of prevention via a vaccine.
Curable STIs
Among the sexually transmitted conditions, 4 are impermanent. These include:
- Syphilis
- Gonorrhea
- Chlamydia
- Trichomoniasis
Typically, the treatment for these infections includes antibiotics. However, treatment cannot begin until you have received a diagnosis. This is where STD testing in SoHo comes in. By having your blood, saliva, urine, or genital fluids examined, you can learn whether you are infected as soon as possible.
