When Should I Get Tested for STDs?

In Los Angeles County, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most commonly reported STDs. If you have burning, discharge, sores, or pelvic pain, testing can help identify the cause. Many STDs cause no symptoms. Testing is the only way to know. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends routine screening for sexually active people. A health care provider can help you choose the right tests.

What Will Be Tested in an STD Panel?

Most panels test for common STDs. Many include chlamydia, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis. The lab may use urine, blood, or a swab. If you have oral or rectal exposure, ask whether you need a throat or rectal swab.

Here is what to expect during STD testing:

  1. Check in at the front desk or finish registration online.
  2. Give a urine sample, blood sample, or swab, based on the tests ordered.
  3. Get results in one to three business days for many lab-based tests.

A routine STD panel may include:
