Private STD Testing, Symptoms Of All STDs
There is a reason you were looking for this site. You likely suspect you have an STD. Since you were looking at private STD testing, I want to assure you that there is no need to panic or be embarrassed about your situation. Even if you feel now that you don’t want to go to your regular health care provider or local health clinic to be tested, you really do need to take this seriously. An STD doesn’t just go away by itself. It can cause general body infections or can directly affect your reproductive and sex organs. I implore you to get tested, get treated and tell your partner or partners so they can also be tested and treated.
There are a few online sites that you can contact and order test kits for various STD’s. You follow the directions and send your kit to the private lab, and they will send you your results. For some you can even submit anonymously. While this is a great thing for privacy, these kits only cover the main STDs like herpes, Chlamydia, and gonorrhea. You have to order the different tests separately, and this can get costly. There are many more types of STDs and even if you come out negative on the “big three”, you may still have an infection.
Other clinics offer very good testing services and promise confidentiality, but you have to show up yourself for the blood work and testing. You may or may not have any near your home, but you can even check the yellow pages for information if you need to. I need to stress again that if you think there may be a problem, you need to get it checked out. It may be that you see some strange symptoms, or maybe you suspect that your partner wasn’t as honest or clean as you originally thought. Many times there are no symptoms at all. Go with your gut feeling and instincts. More women get symptoms than men, so even if you are a guy and don’t feel anything wrong, an std test for men is just as important as an std test for women.
Here is some scary information for you, the CDC reports that 19 million new STD infections occur every year. And, even more alarming, is that nearly 50 percent of these new cases happen to young people between the ages of 15 and 24. With all the information out there at a younger and younger age about protected sex, why is there still so much infection? The truth is, most of us have inadequate information. We teach that you are protected when you where a condom. We neglect to say that most people do not use condoms correctly and are therefore NOT protected, either against pregnancy or STDs. Another thing, people do not think they can pick up STDs from oral sex. Guess what—you can. The teenage STD statistics become the worldwide STD statistics in a few more years. The message has to get out there.
So, now you know that even protected sex is not very protected. Oral sex can spread STDs too. Many times, especially in men, there are not symptoms to tell you that you may have an infection. The bottom line then comes down to this. If you are engaged in sexual contact with one or more people, you need to routinely get screened for STDs. While you can find ways to get private STD testing, if you are infected, it cannot go on privately after that. You will need to get you and your partners treated asap. The more secret you try to be, the more money you are likely to pay for your screening tests.
If you need privacy, it is there. If you are embarrassed by your behavior, however, maybe you need to consider that the lifestyle you have chosen is not the best one for you. I hope everything works out for you and the ones you love.
