Frequently Asked Questions
An STD Risk Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation to determine an individual’s risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases. It’s essential as it helps in identifying potential exposure to STDs and enables timely intervention and prevention strategies.
STD Risk Assessment is recommended for individuals of all ages who are sexually active or have multiple sexual partners. It’s especially important for those who engage in unprotected sex or have a history of STDs.
An STD Risk Assessment may include a range of tests such as blood tests (CBC, liver, kidney, lipid, thyroid, iron studies, vitamin levels, and hormone levels), urine tests, and specific STD screening tests (for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, etc.).
Fasting is generally not required for an STD Risk Assessment, as most tests included in the assessment do not require fasting. However, it’s essential to follow any specific fasting instructions provided by your healthcare provider for certain tests.

STD Risk Assessment results are highly accurate when conducted by qualified healthcare professionals and using reliable testing methods. However, it’s important to note that no test is 100% accurate, and false-positive or false-negative results can occur in some cases.
Yes, STD Risk Assessment results are strictly confidential, and healthcare providers adhere to patient privacy and confidentiality laws. Your test results will only be shared with you and your healthcare provider, and they will not be disclosed to anyone else without your consent.
If your STD Risk Assessment results are positive for any sexually transmitted disease, it’s crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation, treatment, and counseling. They can provide you with appropriate medical care, support, and guidance on preventing the spread of the infection.
Many STDs can be cured with proper treatment, including antibiotics for bacterial infections. However, some viral STDs, such as HIV and herpes, are lifelong conditions that require ongoing management and treatment to control symptoms and prevent transmission.
To reduce the risk of contracting STDs, practice safe sex by using condoms correctly and consistently, limit the number of sexual partners, and communicate openly with your partners about sexual health and STD testing. Regular STD screening and vaccination (where available) are also essential preventive measures.
