Understanding the symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV is crucial for maintaining your health. Learn about the testing services available to diagnose these infections early and protect your well-being.

Should You Get Tested?

Taking the time to get tested for HIV or STDs can feel inconvenient, and you might worry about missing work or school. It’s normal to feel uneasy, but remember, addressing your health is essential for living your life fully. Ignoring these concerns won’t make them go away, but getting tested can provide peace of mind and prevent serious complications.

At LevelUp Urgent Care in Bloomfield, offers quick and confidential testing for HIV and other STDs in a safe, non-judgmental environment. With extended hours, including evenings and weekends, you can get tested at a time that fits your schedule. We prioritize your time, providing fast results and prompt treatment. If necessary, we’ll refer you to a specialist for further care.

What Are STD Symptoms?

For women, symptoms of common STDs may include:

• Pain or burning during urination
• Abnormal or bloody vaginal discharge
• Abdominal pain
• Spotting between periods
• Itching, blisters, open sores, or warts
• Fever and swollen glands

Some STDs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, might not show symptoms at all. If your partner has been diagnosed with an STD, it’s vital to get tested yourself to prevent serious complications like infertility and certain cancers.

For men, STD symptoms may include:

• Discharge from the urethra
• Painful urination
• Inflammation of the testicles or prostate
• Fever or sores

Untreated STDs can lead to severe health issues, including organ damage, infertility, and even brain damage.

What If You Are Diagnosed with an STD?

If you are diagnosed with an STD, it’s essential to protect your sexual partners by refraining from sexual activity until you have completed treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing the spread of infections.
