Confidential & Quick: How to Get Tested for STIs Without the Awkwardness

If you’ve been putting off getting tested for STIs because it feels uncomfortable or embarrassing, you’re not alone—but it doesn’t have to be that way. At Cline Medical Group, we believe sexual health is just part of your overall wellness, and getting tested can be simple, fast, and judgment-free.

Whether you’re starting a new relationship, experiencing symptoms, or just staying on top of your health, STI testing is one of the smartest steps you can take for yourself—and your peace of mind.

Why STI Testing Matters

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also called STDs, are more common than many people realize. In fact, many infections can be present without obvious symptoms, which means you could be affected without even knowing it.

Early testing and treatment can:

• Prevent long-term health issues like infertility or chronic pain

• Protect your partners

• Help stop the spread of infections

• Give you confidence and clarity

The best part? Getting tested doesn’t have to be awkward, invasive, or time-consuming.

What STIs Can You Get Tested For?

Depending on your lifestyle, history, and symptoms, we may test for one or more of the following:

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhea

• Syphilis

• HIV

• Hepatitis B & C

• Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2)

• Trichomoniasis

• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

Some tests can be done via a simple urine sample, blood draw, swab, or physical exam. We’ll help you determine exactly what you need—no stress, no judgment.

Who Should Get Tested for STIs?

You should consider STI testing if:

• You’re sexually active (regardless of age or orientation)

• You’re starting a new relationship

• You’ve had unprotected sex

• You’re experiencing symptoms like unusual discharge, itching, pain, or sores

• You just want to be proactive about your health

Even if you feel fine, regular screening is a smart and responsible choice.

What to Expect: A Quick & Private Process

At Cline Medical Group, we make STI testing straightforward and discreet. Here’s how it works:

1. Private Consultation: We’ll start with a confidential conversation to understand your concerns and recommend the appropriate tests. This can often be done the same day.

2. Simple Testing: Most tests take just a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort. Our friendly, professional staff will explain everything before we begin.

3. Fast Results: Results are typically available within a few days. We’ll contact you privately to discuss results and next steps.

4. Support & Treatment (If Needed): If anything comes back positive, don’t panic. Many STIs are easily treatable. We’ll provide guidance, prescriptions if needed, and ongoing support.

Worried About Privacy? You’re Covered.

We take your privacy seriously. Your information is protected by strict medical confidentiality laws (like HIPAA), and we never share test results without your permission.

Testing can also often be billed discreetly through insurance, and affordable self-pay options are available.
