About STD Testing in Alameda
An STD screen typically groups several individual tests into one panel, so a single sample collection can assess multiple infections at once.
Most panels include testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, HIV, syphilis, and in some cases herpes or hepatitis. The exact composition depends on the panel selected and the laboratory's standard configuration.
Sample collection varies by infection. Blood draws are used for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis; urine or a swab is used for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Some panels also include an oral or rectal swab when indicated.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though individual tests may return at different times. A negative result does not rule out every infection, and a positive result should be discussed with a clinician for interpretation and next steps.
