Chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most common STDs and an essential part of any STD test. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be detected 1-2 weeks after exposure.

Herpes simplex type 1, HSV1 for short, is the virus that causes cold sores. Once you get this infection it never goes away, it just goes dormant. About half of people in the US have HSV1. Unless you have frequent cold sore or are currently experiencing symptoms, you likely don’t need to be tested or treated.

Herpes simplex type 2, HSV2 for short, is the virus that causes genital herpes. Once you get this infection it never goes away, it just goes dormant. About 12% of people in the US have HSV2 and it is not usually included in routine STD testing. Often people first learn that they have herpes when they develop symptoms. If you think you have herpes symptoms, get tested. We can prescribe treatment if you are positive.

Hepatitis A is caused by a virus that is spread from an infected person, who excretes the virus in their stool, to another person who gets a contaminated food or item in his mouth. The virus is also present in the blood during infection so contact with infected blood can transmit hepatitis A. Most adults who have hepatitis A have general symptoms such as fatigue and nausea. The infection resolves by itself over several weeks; there is no risk of chronic infection (carrier state). It is unusual for the liver to be permanently damaged from this virus. Hepatitis A can be sexually transmitted if a person’s mouth comes in contact with a contaminated area. If you were vaccinated for hepatitis A, which is a recommended childhood vaccine, you cannot get this infection.

Hepatitis B is caused by a virus that is spread from an infected person, who has the virus in their blood and excretions including semen and saliva, to another person whose blood or mucous membranes come in contact with contaminated material. Many people with hepatitis B infection do not have symptoms. About 10% of people who get infected do not clear the virus and instead develop a chronic infection (carrier state). The chronic infection causes liver damage over many years, and can result in cirrhosis. If you were vaccinated for hepatitis B, which is a recommended childhood vaccine, you cannot get this infection.

Hepatitis C is caused by a virus that is spread from an infected person, who has the virus in their blood, to another person whose blood comes in contact with contaminated material. Most Hepatitis C infections are a result of intravenous drug use with needle sharing. The infection is usually without symptoms but most people who become infected do not clear the virus and instead, develop a chronic infection (carrier state). The chronic infection causes liver damage over many years, and can result in cirrhosis. It is rare, but not impossible, for this infection to be sexually-transmitted.

If you have injected drugs, are a man who has sex with other men, or have had numerous sexual partners, it is recommended that you be screened for HIV; you should get tested according to the CDC guidelines which includes tests for both HIV 1 and HIV 2 (we refer to this as the HIV Standard test).

Syphilis spreads by direct contact with an infected ulcer on the skin, usually during sex. Syphilis ulcers are painless and heal on their own, but the infection remains and spreads to other parts of the body. If you’ve had numerous sexual partners or suspect you’ve been exposed to syphilis, you should get tested. The tests are positive beginning about 1 month after the initial infection.
