Urgent Care for STD Testing Q&A

Many urgent care clinics, like Columbia Clinic, do STD testing. You can definitely come to our urgent care for testing, and it might be a better option for you than going to your primary doctor for testing, especially if you want to get tested right away and see your test results right away. Your primary doctor might not be available for an appointment anytime soon, and he or she may not be able to provide test results immediately. Urgent care, though, can provide immediate testing on a walk-in basis and provide immediate results.

The sooner you get tested and get your results, the sooner you’ll know whether you have an STD. And if it turns out that you do have one, you’ll be able to be treated right away and take measures quickly to prevent spreading the STD. Also, with urgent care, you can be sure your testing and test results will be confidential and remain confidential, between only you and the doctor.

Urgent care can provide safe-sex practice education as well as tests and treatments for HIV/AIDS, HPV, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, gonnorhea, and others. If you need a prescription for an STD treatment medication, then urgent care can certainly provide it. Columbia Clinic provides additional STD-related services too, so contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.

An urgent care clinic like ours has an onsite laboratory to test for illnesses and infections, including STDs. This lab provides very accurate diagnoses and quick results. After a short wait, results may be available, but they might take a day or so to be processed. We will notify you as soon as test results are available. Once we have the results of a test, we will share them confidentially with you and, if you request, we can share them with your primary doctor too.

At an urgent care clinic like Columbia Clinic, you can expect discreet testing and absolute confidentiality in compliance with HIPAA regulations. HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and it provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. HIPAA regulations ensure your testing and test results will be kept confidential at our urgent care clinic.
