I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

MEDcare Urgent Care, Garners Ferry - 7418 Garners Ferry Rd, Columbia
The "sign in online, prior to showing up" didn't work for us, but we got there 90 mins before closing and there were 30 people in front of us, with only 1 doctor working. Listen, these nurses were busting their butts to get everyone seen and feeling better. All that said, I was released 30 mins before closing and the doctor was able to prescribe medication that I was needing 35 years ago for the asthma and allergies I have been diagnosed with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Getting Tested for STDs in West Columbia, SC

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for STDs, especially if they have multiple partners or do not consistently use protection during sexual activity. According to the CDC, specific groups, including young adults and gay and bisexual men, are at a higher risk for certain STDs. However, STDs do not discriminate and can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or sexual preference.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. First, many STDs do not show symptoms, meaning you could be infected and not know it. Early detection through testing can prevent serious health complications. Secondly, knowing your STD status can help protect your sexual partners from becoming infected. Lastly, some STDs can lead to serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility and increased risk of getting HIV.

STD testing options in West Columbia, SC

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are convenient options for STD testing. They typically offer same-day appointments, which you can book through Solv. In West Columbia, you can consider locations like MEDcare Urgent Care and Doctors Care, both of which have received positive reviews for their friendly staff and clean facilities.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also perform STD tests. If you feel comfortable, it can be beneficial to have this discussion with a provider who already knows your health history.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or who are looking for a more affordable option, free STD testing may be available at local community health centers. It's important to check with each center regarding their testing capabilities and availability.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing is another option. These tests can be purchased online or at a local pharmacy, and they offer privacy and convenience. However, they may not be as accurate as tests conducted at a healthcare facility.

Prevalence of STDs in West Columbia

West Columbia, located in Lexington County, has seen a fluctuation in STD rates over the years. While it's crucial to note that these numbers can vary year by year, the overall trend indicates a need for continued awareness and testing. Comparatively, Lexington County's STD rates are higher than those in nearby Forsyth and Patrick Counties, but lower than in Henry, Washington, and Scott Counties, according to the CDC.

Risk factors related to STDs in West Columbia

Several risk factors can contribute to the prevalence of STDs in West Columbia. These include a lack of consistent condom use, multiple sexual partners, and a lack of regular testing. Additionally, social factors such as stigma around STD testing and lack of sexual health education can contribute to higher rates.

Remember, getting tested is a crucial step in maintaining your sexual health. With 65 testing locations in the area, including urgent care centers and medical laboratories, there are plenty of options for convenient and confidential testing.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in West Columbia?

    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 West Columbia 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 West Columbia?
