About STD Testing in San Jose
STD screening is used to identify infections that may not produce noticeable symptoms.
Many STDs can remain asymptomatic for long periods, so testing is often the only way to confirm an infection. Screening is commonly considered for sexually active individuals, those with new or multiple partners, and anyone with symptoms such as discharge, sores, or burning during urination.
Laboratory detection relies on several specimen types. Blood samples are used for infections such as HIV and syphilis. Urine or swab specimens are used for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Some tests detect the organism directly, while others measure the immune system's antibody response to a prior or current infection.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though timing varies by the specific tests included. A positive result indicates that an infection was detected and should be discussed with a healthcare provider. A negative result does not rule out every possible infection, particularly if exposure occurred recently.
