Friendly Staff

I had occasion to see Dr. Amy Parker twice in the last couple of weeks, and have nothing but good things to say. She was thorough, sent me for the correct tests to make a diagnosis, referred me to an excellent specialist and made follow up calls to see how I was doing. The whole staff was professional and attentive.

We are from suburban Philadelphia and were visiting our son and his family when my husband’s “cold” became markedly worse. The nurse Megan and the Nurse Practitioner Donna were wonderful to us. They quickly assessed my husband’s conditon, had a chest xray done, and prescribed the appropriate medicine and care for what turned out to be pneumonia. The entire visit to this facility was favorable, from the ease of check-in to the friendliness of the xray tech. Although no one likes being sick “on vacation”, this was a good experience for us.

Getting Tested for STDs in South Portland, ME

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for STDs, particularly those who have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex. It's important to remember that many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning you may not show any symptoms but can still transmit the disease. Regular testing is crucial for those in high-risk groups, such as men who have sex with men, individuals with HIV, and those who have been forced to have intercourse or engage in sexual activity against their will.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is a critical part of maintaining your overall health. According to the CDC, undiagnosed and untreated STDs can lead to serious long-term health consequences, including infertility, cancer, and increased risk of HIV. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and preventing the spread of STDs to others.

Std testing options in South Portland, ME:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

There are several urgent care and walk-in clinics in and around South Portland that offer STD testing. For instance, Intermed Urgent Care in nearby Portland offers testing services. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider is also a reliable resource for STD testing. They can provide routine screenings and treatment as part of your regular healthcare.

Free STD testing and community health centers

There are also options for free STD testing in South Portland and nearby areas. Community health centers often offer these services, particularly to those who may not have insurance or the financial means to pay for testing.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another convenient option. These kits can be ordered online, used in the privacy of your home, and then sent to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of STDs in South Portland

While specific data for South Portland is not readily available, we can look at data for Cumberland County, where South Portland is located. The prevalence of STDs in this county, as in the rest of the country, has been on the rise. Comparatively, the rates are similar to those in nearby counties such as Hampshire County, Worcester County, and Hampden County.

Risk factors related to STDs in South Portland

Several factors could contribute to the prevalence of STDs in South Portland. These include a lack of education about STDs, limited access to healthcare services, social stigma associated with STD testing, and high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sex and having multiple sexual partners. Efforts to address these risk factors could help reduce the prevalence of STDs in the area.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in South Portland?

    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 South Portland 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 South Portland?

    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 South Portland 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 South Portland?

    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 South Portland?

    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 South Portland?

    Many South Portland, ME 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 South Portland?

    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.
