What is STI Testing?

STI testing is a simple, confidential way to check your sexual health, whether you're due for routine screening, have a new partner, or just want peace of mind.

At Tia, we offer testing for common sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and trichomonas. Depending on the test, screening may involve a urine sample, blood draw, or swab.

Testing is available at Tia clinics, with select FDA-cleared at-home self-collection options for eligible patients.

Who should book STI Testing?

STI testing is recommended for anyone who is sexually active, even without symptoms. Regular screening is especially important if you're under 25, have multiple sexual partners, are pregnant, have a new partner, or may have been exposed to an STI.

How often you need testing depends on your age, anatomy, sexual practices, and individual risk factors. Your Tia care team can help you understand which screenings are right for you.

If you're experiencing symptoms like sores, unusual discharge, or burning, or have had a known high-risk exposure, book an STI Consultation instead for a full evaluation and personalized care plan.

Frequently asked questions about STI Testing

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.

What our patients say about Tia

Jessica O., Tia Patient
"I cannot tell you how much I truly valued my experience here at this clinic. From the minute I walked in, I felt safe, comfortable and welcomed. The exam room had so many amenities to make you feel at home, I have a hard time calling it a "exam room" - they had amazing robes to wear, drinks/snacks just in case, and even a little sitting area in the room. My nurse was the most incredible woman and held my hand throughout the exam...everything was just perfect. I highly recommend Tia to every woman who wants to have a better doctor experience. This is unlike anything I have experienced and will be recommending every woman I know to Tia!"
Stephanie S., Tia Patient
"It's always easy and I've never felt so taken care of in my life! I actually don't dread making appointments and I don't have to put on armor when I go see my doctor. It's a game changer!"
Katherine E. Tia Patient
"I can’t recommend Tia enough. As a woman who doesn’t like going to the doctor (white coat syndrome) and has been discounted and not listened to by doctors in the past, this experience is everything a doctors appt should be. I am so happy I am now a Tia patient and would highly recommend Tia to any female friend or family member that could benefit from the amazing staff and care here 💕"
Whitney K., Tia Patient
"I’ve never experienced such personalized, sensitive, thorough, and holistic women’s healthcare in my life. So grateful for this clinic!"
