About STD Testing in Pleasanton

An STD screen is a grouped set of laboratory assays that look for evidence of one or more sexually transmitted infections.

Screening panels commonly include tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and sometimes hepatitis B or C, trichomoniasis, or herpes, depending on the specimen collected and the reason for testing.

Samples are usually obtained through a blood draw, a urine collection, or a swab of the throat, rectum, or genital area. The specific collection method depends on which organisms are being targeted and the site of possible exposure.

Results are generally available within one to three business days, though some individual assays may take longer. A positive result indicates that the organism or an immune response to it was detected, while a negative result usually means no evidence of infection was found at the time of collection.
