Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start. Appreciate Dr. Asya and Dr. Regina taking time to go over the diagnosis clearly and treatment options.

On average, an sexually transmitted diseases test costs from $30 to $400, depending on where you get tested, the type of testing you may need, and your health insurance. Many insurance plans cover STD screening, so you may even get it for free or at a reduced cost.
STDs are mainly caused by germs that hide in blood, semen, vaginal discharges, and saliva. Some of them may be spread through skin contact and sharing personal items such as razors, toothbrushes, or even drinking from someone else’s cup.
Although it depends on the type of STD you have, symptoms could develop within a few days or weeks. Sometimes, they can delay and show months or even years later. Some people may even be asymptomatic until they get tested.
STD treatment varies depending on the infection but is mostly treated with antibiotics and antiviral drugs. Timely diagnosis is important to treat STDs, so try to get tested regularly.
