Confidential STD Testing in Woodbridge, VA

At Nova Patient Care, we understand the severity of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the importance of prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. STDs are primarily transmitted through sexual activities, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex, but they can also be spread through direct contact with an infected person’s sores, discharges, or bodily fluids.

Our medical team is highly trained in managing STDs, which can also be transmitted through non-sexual routes such as sharing needles or syringes, and from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. We continually stress that engaging in unprotected sex significantly increases the risk of acquiring STDs. While protective methods can reduce this risk, they do not eliminate it, particularly as some STDs can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.

We assure you that STDs are not transmitted through casual contact. Sharing food or drinks, hugging, holding hands, coughing, sneezing, or using public toilet seats will not result in STD transmission.

Prevention is always better than cure and we encourage all our patients to adopt proactive prevention strategies. Regular testing is an essential part of this strategy, which we offer at Nova Patient Care. We provide vaccination where available and always recommend practicing safe sex. We also stress the importance of open communication with partners about sexual health, to significantly reduce the risk of STD transmission.

We offer comprehensive care for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including some of the most frequently encountered ones like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Syphilis, and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Our experienced medical team is well-versed with the potential complexities of these infections. For instance, Chlamydia, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, is often asymptomatic, making early detection and treatment a challenge. The same applies to Gonorrhea, caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

We also offer care and support for patients with HPV, a leading cause of cervical cancer in women and other types of STDs like HSV and Syphilis. We understand the lifelong implications of conditions like Herpes and provide appropriate antiviral medications to manage the condition effectively.

Understanding the severity of HIV, our team at Nova Patient Care provides advanced medical care to manage this condition and prevent it from progressing to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

We strongly emphasize the importance of regular STD testing, especially since many may not exhibit obvious symptoms. Our clinic offers confidential and comprehensive testing services to ensure early detection and treatment of these diseases. At Nova Patient Care, your sexual health is our priority, and we are committed to providing you with the best care possible.

We provide treatment for curable STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, early-stage syphilis, and trichomoniasis, which can be effectively cured with antibiotics. Our healthcare providers will prescribe the right medication and guide you on how to take it correctly to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. We also educate our patients about the potential health complications of untreated curable STDs, such as the severe complications involving the heart, brain, and other organs that can result from untreated syphilis.

We also offer treatment options for manageable STDs such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B, HIV, and late-stage syphilis. While these cannot be completely cured, our team can help you control symptoms, reduce the risk of transmission, and prevent disease progression.

We strongly advocate for regular STD testing as a key preventive measure, especially for those who are sexually active with multiple partners. Early detection can help manage STD symptoms and lead to effective treatment. Even if you have been cured of an STD, we recommend continued safe sex practices as re-infection is possible.

At Nova Patient Care, we encourage open and honest communication about STDs. If you suspect you may have an STD, we urge you to seek medical attention promptly. Our team is committed to providing early diagnosis and treatment to improve your health outcomes and reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others. Your health is our priority, and we are here to provide you with the care, respect and support you need.

As a part of our comprehensive health services, we provide routine testing for STDs in a confidential and compassionate environment. We educate our patients about the possibility of asymptomatic STDs, which can still be transmitted and may lead to serious health issues if left untreated.

Our experienced healthcare professionals are trained to identify a variety of symptoms associated with STDs, from physical signs to symptoms similar to common illnesses. These can include abnormal genital discharge, urinary symptoms, pain during sexual intercourse, bleeding between periods (for women), the appearance of bumps, sores, or rashes around the genital or anal area, swelling in the testicles (for men), lower abdominal pain (for women), and flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, swollen glands, and fatigue.
