I walked in on Thanksgiving morning and saw the doctor with no delay or problem.  I didn’t have an appt. I was very pleased at how fast the process was and the attentiveness of the staff and doctor.  So happy to know they are close by!

Our family’s PCP’s never have same-day appts available so we always go to this facility for our urgent care. Dr. Ishmael is always friendly and thorough. We haven’t had to experience long waits. We like that we can log in to secure an appt slot.

Called the center as a walk in and was able to schedule an appointment right away! All staff were friendly from the desk receptionist to the nursing/doctor staff. I was treated fairly and with care and all of my concerns were addressed properly. Wait times may vary depending on the time and day as I went after work around 5:30pm, but everything was quick between the paperwork and the visit! I would definitely recommend this location and I will be returning in the future if need be!

Staff was friendly, attentive, painfully honest (shots to numb my finger for the procedure were painful just like the Dr. said they would be which I appreciated, not tolerating shots very well), and provided a quick solution for my problem.

Getting Tested for STDs in Santa Fe, TX

Who should get tested for STDs?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anyone who is sexually active should consider regular STD testing as part of their overall health routine. This is especially true for individuals in Santa Fe, TX, where STD rates may be higher than the national average. Those who have multiple sexual partners, engage in unprotected sex, or have a partner who has tested positive for an STD should be particularly vigilant about testing.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs are asymptomatic, meaning they do not present any noticeable symptoms. Regular testing is the only surefire way to know your status. Secondly, early detection can prevent serious health complications such as infertility, organ damage, and certain types of cancer. Lastly, knowing your status can help prevent the spread of STDs to others.

STD testing options in Santa Fe, TX:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Santa Fe residents have several options for urgent care and walk-in clinics. AFC Urgent Care in nearby League City, for example, has a 4.87 rating and is known for its short wait times and friendly staff. Brazos Urgent Care, also in League City, boasts a 4.83 rating and is highly recommended by its patients. Both of these locations offer same-day and next-day appointments, which can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another great option for STD testing. These healthcare professionals can provide comprehensive care, including STD testing and treatment. If you already have a relationship with a primary care provider in Santa Fe, consider reaching out to them for your STD testing needs.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or who are looking for more affordable options, free STD testing and community health centers are available in the Santa Fe area. These centers often provide testing on a sliding scale based on income, making it a more accessible option for many individuals.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing is another convenient option for Santa Fe residents. These tests can be ordered online and delivered discreetly to your home. They offer privacy and convenience, and results are typically available within a few days.

Prevalence of STDs in Santa Fe

In Santa Fe, TX, and the surrounding Galveston County, STD rates are a significant concern. According to the CDC, the county has seen a steady increase in STD cases over the past few years. This trend mirrors what is happening at the state and national levels, where STD rates have been on the rise.

Risk factors related to STDs in Santa Fe

Several risk factors contribute to the prevalence of STDs in Santa Fe. These include a lack of comprehensive sex education, limited access to healthcare, and socioeconomic factors such as poverty and drug use. Additionally, stigma and fear of judgment can prevent individuals from seeking testing and treatment. It's important to remember that anyone who is sexually active is at risk for STDs, and regular testing is crucial for maintaining sexual health.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Santa Fe?

    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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe?

    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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe?

    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 Santa Fe?

    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 Santa Fe?

    Many Santa Fe, TX 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 Santa Fe?

    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.
