Treat Potential STIs
Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment involve checking for infections spread through sexual contact and providing the appropriate care if any are detected. These infections can often be present without symptoms, making routine testing important for your health and your partner’s. Testing typically includes urine samples, blood tests, or swabs, depending on the suspected infection. Early detection allows for timely treatment, which can prevent complications and stop the spread to others.
You May Need STI Testing & Treatment If:
- You had unprotected sex with a new or multiple partners
- You notice unusual discharge, itching, or sores
- You experience pain during urination or intercourse
- You or your partner tested positive for an STI
- You want routine screening for peace of mind
- You are starting a new sexual relationship
- You had a condom break or slip during sex
- You were informed that a previous partner has an STI
STI Testing Options We Offer
At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, we provide a comprehensive range of testing options to help detect sexually transmitted infections early—often before symptoms appear. Our team offers fast, discreet, and accurate testing tailored to your concerns and risk factors. We also walk you through each step and help you understand your results after the test.
These are some of the STI tests we may recommend:
- Urine Tests: Urine tests are commonly used to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea. They are noninvasive and provide quick results, making them convenient for both men and women. A simple urine sample is collected and sent to the lab for analysis.
- Blood Tests: Blood tests can identify infections such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B and C. These are especially important if you’ve had potential exposure or long-term symptoms. Results help guide treatment decisions and ensure proper follow-up care.
- Swab Tests: Depending on your symptoms and history, swabs may be taken from the throat, genitals, rectum, or sores. They are often used to test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and trichomoniasis. Swabs are quick and minimally uncomfortable.
- Follow-Up Testing: If you’ve recently been treated for an STI, we may recommend follow-up testing to ensure the infection has cleared. This is especially important for infections like gonorrhea, which can recur or persist without proper treatment.
STI Treatment Options We May Offer
At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, we provide fast, effective treatment for a wide range of sexually transmitted infections. Early treatment not only relieves symptoms but also prevents complications and transmission to others. Whether your infection is bacterial, viral, or parasitic, our medical team will create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.
These are some of the STI treatments we may offer, based on your diagnosis:
- Antibiotics for Bacterial STIs: Bacterial infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are typically treated with oral or injectable antibiotics. In some cases, we’ll recommend that your partner also receive treatment to prevent reinfection.
- Antiviral Medications for Viral STIs: For viral infections like herpes or HIV, we offer antiviral medications that help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of transmission. While these aren’t curable, early and consistent treatment can significantly improve quality of life. We do not offer long term treatment for HIV.
- Topical Treatments for Skin-Related Symptoms: Certain STIs may cause visible sores, warts, or lesions that can be treated with creams or topical therapies. These treatments help reduce discomfort, promote healing, and prevent the spread.
- Partner Notification and Treatment Guidance: If you’ve tested positive for an STI, we help you understand how to inform partners and encourage them to get tested and treated. This is important for breaking the cycle of reinfection and protecting public health.
