Why is this test important? This screening is designed to help you confirm the presence of one or more common STD conditions.

The full panel of results will be analyzed by an accredited medical laboratory, and can be accessed on the HealthCheckUSA Web site within four business days after a blood test.
Who should be tested? Strongly consider testing if you have HIV, are a male who has had sex with other men, or if you are man or woman who has had unprotected sex with multiple partners. All of these behaviors raise the risk of acquiring one or more forms of sexually transmitted disease. Additionally, if you are a woman who recently delivered a baby and has been diagnosed with syphilis, strongly consider having your child tested. The Mayo Clinic reports that this condition, which can be passed to a child during pregnancy, can cause serious (or fatal) problems in infants. If you have shared needles during intravenous drug use, consider testing for exposure to Hepatitis B or C, both of which can lead to potentially serious liver conditions.
