About STD Testing in Annapolis
STD testing is a category of diagnostic testing rather than a single test.
A typical panel may include tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes simplex virus. Not every panel contains every test; the specific organisms covered depend on the panel selected and the sample types collected.
Sample collection varies by test. Blood draws are used for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, and sometimes herpes. Urine collection is common for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Swab samples may be taken from the throat, rectum, cervix, urethra, or a visible sore, depending on the infection being evaluated.
Most results are available within one to three business days, though some assays, such as certain cultures or confirmatory tests, can take longer. Preparation is usually minimal, but following the lab's instructions helps ensure the sample is collected correctly and the results are reliable.
