Private STD Test And Treatment in San Antonio, TX
Confidential Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Testing With Treatment On Site
San Antonio is not short of places to get tested. It is short of places that will see you this week and treat you the same day. Metro Health clinics run at capacity, private practices book out and most of them hand you a lab slip that turns one appointment into three. This location does the whole sequence in a single visit. Chlamydia and gonorrhea come off one sample, results post within 24 to 48 hours and anything positive is treated here.

Two Tests, One Visit
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Testing in San Antonio
Bexar County reports these two more than any other notifiable infection and it reports them together. They travel the same routes, they produce the same unremarkable symptoms when they produce any and someone carrying one is far more likely to be carrying the other. Screening for both adds nothing to the visit, because a single sample answers both questions at once.
Service one
Chlamydia Testing
Bexar County has run above the national average for chlamydia for years and the reason is not that it spreads faster here. It is that it spreads silently everywhere. Most people carrying it have no discharge, no pain and no reason to suspect a thing.
|
Sample |
Urine, or throat, vaginal or rectal swab |
|
Method |
Nucleic acid amplification test |
|
Window period |
Detectable 7 to 14 days after exposure |
|
Results |
24 to 48 hours |
|
If positive |
Seven day antibiotic course started here |
Service Two
Gonorrhea Testing
Cases have risen across South Texas for most of the past decade while the bacteria have grown harder to kill. Men usually get a clear warning inside two weeks. Women often mistake it for a bladder infection. Throat infections say nothing at all.
|
Sample |
Urine, or throat, cervical or rectal swab |
|
Method |
Nucleic acid amplification test, culture if needed |
|
Window period |
Detectable 5 to 14 days after exposure |
|
Results |
24 to 48 hours |
|
If positive |
Single ceftriaxone injection given here |
Testing both together costs less than testing them separately
Co infection is common enough that a positive on either test changes what your Licensed Physician recommends for the other. Both run off the same collected sample, so covering both means no second swab, no second appointment and no extra wait. Most people here screen for the pair.

Signs Worth Testing For STD In San Antonio
Neither infection reliably announces itself, so read this as a list of reasons rather than symptoms you need to match.

Routine Screening
Tell us if you have had oral or anal sex
A urine sample cannot find an infection living in your throat or rectum. Those sites need swabbing directly and nobody will know to swab them unless you say so. It takes one sentence and skipping it is the most common way an infection walks out of a clinic undetected.
Your Visit
From Walk In to Sample in Twenty Minutes
Four steps and the longest one is usually the drive.
Check In
Book ahead or simply walk in. Registration is a few minutes at the desk and nothing about why you are here gets said out loud in front of anyone else.
Private Licensed Physician Visit
A urine cup or a swab that takes a few seconds. Try to avoid urinating in the hour before you arrive, since a diluted sample is a less reliable one.
One Sample
A urine cup or a swab that takes a few seconds. Try to avoid urinating in the hour before you arrive, since a diluted sample is a less reliable one.
Results and Treatment
Results post to your secure portal in 24 to 48 hours. Anything positive brings a direct call from a Licensed Physician and a same day plan.
If Something Comes Back Positive
Treatment Happens Here Not Somewhere Else
Both of these are curable and both are treated here. Chlamydia clears with a seven day course of antibiotics. Gonorrhea needs a single ceftriaxone injection, now the only regimen the CDC still recommends, because the bacteria have outlasted nearly every oral drug once used against them.
When one result is positive and the other was never checked, your Licensed Physician will usually treat for both rather than wait. That is not overcaution. The two are found together often enough that treating only what you can prove tends to leave something behind.
Partners are part of this. Where Texas law allows it, expedited partner therapy means your partner can be treated without securing an appointment of their own first. An untreated partner is the most common reason a cleared infection returns within a few months.
