I used the Solv app to get what I thought was a place in line.  I spoke to Urgent Care and determined you have to physically check in to start your place in line.  They set wait time expectations accurately upon checkin.  The care giver ran tests to rule out certain issues and then provided a prescription for what the ailment is

Very kind!!!  Caring.  Didn’t rush you out when seeing professional care. All medical staff cared and treated you completely, not just get them in and get them out.  I hated the wait time in the lobby, but the lady that  handled front task is AWESOME.  She made it easier to wait.  I work in a medical office, and offered her a job.   Yes, I would recommend.

I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

We moved from another state to Alabama (which is scary when you don't know anyone or where to be seen) I made a new paitent appointment in April at a primary care Dr. and could not be seen until mid July. This was the only place that everyone from staff to the Dr. actually listened to what was going on, talked to me like a normal person, were super nice about everything and were quick about getting me in and out with the prescriptions needed. Thank y'all so much for everything you did for me both times I went!!!

Getting Tested for STDs in Athens, AL

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for STDs, particularly those who have multiple partners or are in a relationship with someone who does. It's also important for those who have had unprotected sex, shared needles for drug use, or have symptoms of an STD to get tested. According to the CDC, certain groups, including young people and men who have sex with men, are at a higher risk and should get tested more frequently.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not show symptoms immediately, meaning you could be infected and unknowingly pass the disease onto others. Secondly, early detection can lead to more effective treatment, reducing the risk of severe health complications. Lastly, knowing your STD status can help you make informed decisions about your sexual health and protect your partner(s).

Std testing options in Athens, AL:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are excellent options for STD testing in Athens, AL. These facilities often offer same-day appointments, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care in Athens, rated 4.92 with 412 reviews, is a highly-rated option for STD testing. You can book appointments at this location through Solv’s website or mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers can also provide STD testing. If you have a long-standing relationship with a provider, this may be a comfortable and convenient option. However, it's essential to check whether STD testing is covered by your insurance.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or with limited financial resources, free STD testing may be available at community health centers. However, these facilities may have longer wait times and limited appointment availability.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing is another option. These tests provide privacy and convenience, as you can take the test at your own time and receive results via mail or online.

Prevalence of STDs in Athens

While specific data for Athens, AL is not readily available, Alabama as a state has seen an increase in STD cases over recent years, according to the CDC. Comparatively, nearby counties such as Webster County and Macon County have reported lower STD rates. It's crucial for residents of Athens to get tested regularly due to these rising rates.

Risk factors related to STDs in Athens

Risk factors for STDs in Athens mirror those at the national level. These include having unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and sharing needles for drug use. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as limited access to healthcare, lower income, and lack of sexual health education can contribute to higher STD rates.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Athens?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Athens clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

  • How long does it take to get STD test results?

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Athens?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Athens clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Athens?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Athens?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Athens?

    Many Athens, AL urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • How can I book an STD test on Solv?

    To find a healthcare practitioner in your area, simply enter your location and search for "STD test" on our website. A list of providers and available appointments can be found on the following page. Choose the most convenient time and location for you. Make it clear that you've come for STD testing.

  • How long does an STD test take in Athens?

    If you have a specific STD, inform your doctor so that the necessary test can be scheduled. Otherwise, they'll help you figure out which tests you'll need. The nurse or doctor simply needs a few minutes to get a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab from the probable infection site.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
