STI Testing
Confidential testing, zero judgment.
Getting tested is a normal, responsible part of taking care of your health. Whether it's routine screening, a new relationship, or a specific concern, STI testing at our practice is private, straightforward, and free of judgment.
Testing is tailored to you — which tests make sense depends on your history and what you're comfortable sharing. Many tests are quick, and when treatment is needed for a treatable infection, it can often begin at the same visit.
Your results and your care are confidential. If you have questions about prevention, partners, or what your results mean, we'll talk through them clearly and without stigma.
Understanding STI testing
Sexually transmitted infections are common, and many cause no symptoms at all — which is exactly why testing matters. Screening lets you catch and treat infections early, protect your partners, and take charge of your health with clear information.
There's no shame in getting tested. It's one of the most routine and responsible things you can do, and our team treats it that way.
Signs and symptoms
You may want testing if you notice:
- Unusual discharge, odor, or irritation
- Pain or burning during urination
- Sores, bumps, or rashes in the genital area
- Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse
- A new partner or a partner's diagnosis
- No symptoms at all — routine screening still matters
Because many STIs are silent, testing is worthwhile even when you feel completely fine.
How we evaluate it
Testing begins with a private, judgment-free conversation about your history and any concerns. Based on that, Dr. Fan recommends the tests that make sense for you — which may involve a urine sample, a swab, or bloodwork.
Results are explained clearly, and if anything needs treatment, you'll understand your options and next steps.
What care includes
Care may include:
- Testing tailored to your history and concerns
- Same-visit treatment for many treatable infections
- Clear explanation of results and what they mean
- Guidance on prevention and protecting partners
- Follow-up testing when appropriate
Whatever the result, you'll be met with clarity and support, not judgment.
Getting tested is one of the most responsible things you can do. We treat it that way.
