How STI Testing can help

Testing is a critical part of caring for yourself. This appointment offers a discreet way to know your status and confidently move forward.

In a Tia clinic, or using the self-collection option, you can be tested for a spectrum of STIs. If any results are positive, a provider will contact you to prescribe treatment and discuss next steps, such as partner notification.

Important: This appointment is for testing only. If you have active symptoms (like sores or discharge) or a known high-risk exposure, you will need to book an STI Consultation for a full provider visit, exam, diagnosis, and care plan.

If any of your screenings come back positive for an STI, your provider will notify you and prescribe treatment. Treatment might include antibiotics (such as ceftriaxone or doxycycline) or antivirals (such as acyclovir).

If you do have an infection, you might need to inform all sexual partners within the last 6 months or since your last negative STI test. Those partners should also be tested. There are anonymous ways to inform previous sexual partners such as STD Check.

FAQs

Do you have to have symptoms to have an STI?

Not all people who have an STI will develop symptoms. In fact, some STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning a person may not show any signs but can still transmit the infection to others. Regular testing, practicing safe sex, and open communication with sexual partners are important in preventing and managing STIs.

What are the signs and symptoms of an STI?

The best way to know for sure if you have an STI is to be screened. In general, watch out for any genital itching, burning, sores, or discharge. But be aware that many STIs do not cause any symptoms.

Why is chlamydia screening especially important for women?

Chlamydia is a very common bacterial infection that is often asymptomatic. If left untreated in women, it can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), potentially causing chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, or infertility. Because of these serious risks, annual screening is essential for sexually active women under 25.

Are STDs and STIs the same?

Yes, they refer to the same conditions. STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) is the current preferred term over STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease). An infection (STI) is when the condition is present in your body, often without showing any symptoms. A disease (STD) implies you have noticeable symptoms or health complications. Since many infections are asymptomatic, STI is a more accurate and inclusive term.

Can I get STI testing at home?

Tia does offer an FDA-cleared at-home testing option for certain STIs. You can discuss this option in your visit.
