STD Testing
We can diagnose a number of different types of STDs, including HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HPV, Hepatitis B and C, and herpes. We use a variety of STD testing methods, including urine tests, blood tests, and swab tests (in which we use a sterilized cotton swab to collect samples from affected tissue). The practitioner you see will also perform a brief physical exam as well as a pelvic exam for women.
STD Treatment
Along with testing for STDs, we can also provide STD treatment at PhysicianOne Urgent Care. Our caring team of medical professionals will be able to prescribe the correct treatment protocol for your needs, whether that’s antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or another medication. If you receive a diagnosis of an STD that may require more ongoing treatment and medication, we can send your records to your primary care provider or refer you to a local physician for more routine healthcare services.
