Suggest Tests To Detect STD

default
Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2015
Question: Hi Dr. Rynne,
I want to get tested for several std's but its been several years since any possible exposure. I want to get tested for
syphilis
chlamydia
gonorrhea
hpv
hep a
hep b
hep c
I know what the MINIMUM ideal testing window is for those screenings, but I'm wondering if there is a maximum window where you can still be tested accurately? In other words, if it's been several years since possible exposure, would tests be accurate? Thank you for your time!

Brief Answer:
Yes, tests would be very accurate!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Tests do have minimum periods before testing and no upper limit. Feel free to get tested whenever you wish. The results would be very accurate and there is no reason to be concerned about their reliability.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do let me know if there are any further worries you have. I will also like to know the outcome of your results for more advice if need be.
