Continuing research on the prevalence of Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis is revealing a growing public health concern.
Women, young adults, and minorities seem to be the greatest affected.
All these three diseases are fully treatable with medication, especially if diagnosed early. The keyword here is early diagnosis, because untreated STDs can have disastrous long-term effects..

that provides rapid, anonymous, private testing for any sexually transmitted disease.”
These days many Americans are reluctant to get themselves tested for STD because they feel their private medical information will be made available to others.
Such fears are unfounded.

The test results are rapid and the results are completely private.

At these urgent care centers, tests are done at patients’ convenience.
An individual can place an order online and drop in any time at his/her convenience without an appointment. None of the clinics’ staff ask any embarrassing or invasive questions about the individual’s medical history.
The importance of getting tested
Some people wrongly believe that they will know if they have a sexually transmitted infection.
The truth is many STDs have no signs or symptoms. Moreover, an annual health care check up may not include tests for sexually transmitted infections.
