What STDs Can Be Tested and Treated at Our Sanford Clinic?

We offer comprehensive testing and treatment for the most common sexually transmitted infections. According to the CDC, STD rates remain high across the US and Florida, and many infections have no symptoms — making routine testing essential for sexually active adults.

STDs we test for and treat:

• Chlamydia — the most commonly reported STD; often has no symptoms; highly treatable with antibiotics
• Gonorrhea — increasingly antibiotic-resistant; requires specific combination treatment
• Syphilis — rising rates nationally; blood test plus treatment with penicillin
• HIV — rapid and standard testing; referral for PrEP, PEP, or ongoing HIV care
• Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2) — blood testing and clinical evaluation of sores
• Trichomoniasis — common parasite; easily treated
• Hepatitis B and C — blood testing; vaccination referral for Hep B
• HPV — clinical evaluation of warts; Pap smear discussion for cervical HPV screening

Who Should Get Tested?

Routine STD testing is recommended for:

• Sexually active adults under 25 — at least annually for chlamydia and gonorrhea
• Anyone with a new or multiple sexual partners
• Anyone whose partner has been diagnosed with an STD
• Pregnant women — several STD tests are standard in prenatal care
• Men who have sex with men — more frequent testing recommended
• Anyone who has had unprotected sex
• Anyone experiencing symptoms — discharge, sores, burning, unusual odor, rash

Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic both emphasize that most STDs are asymptomatic, making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status.

Frequently Asked Questions About STD Evaluations in Sanford, FL

Is my visit completely private?

Yes. Your visit is protected by HIPAA. We handle STD testing and results with complete discretion. Minors may have specific confidentiality rights under Florida law.

What if I have no symptoms?

That is exactly why routine testing matters. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis often cause no symptoms at all. Testing is the only way to know. Harvard Health covers the asymptomatic nature of common STDs.

How long until I get my results?

Rapid HIV: same visit. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis: typically 1 to 2 days. Syphilis, herpes, hepatitis: 1 to 3 days. We contact you as soon as results are available.

What is PrEP, and can you prescribe it?

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily medication that prevents HIV infection in high-risk individuals. We can discuss PrEP eligibility and refer you to an HIV specialist or prescribe it in appropriate cases.

I may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours — what do I do?

Come in immediately. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) must be started within 72 hours of exposure and is highly effective at preventing HIV infection when used correctly.

What is the cost without insurance?

STD panel pricing varies by tests ordered. We give you a clear price before testing begins. Call 321-363-3384 for our current rates or check our accepted insurance list.

Can both partners get tested together?

Yes — we see both partners the same visit if you prefer. Testing together simplifies treatment and follow-up for both of you.
