where do you get tested for sti? Your doc or or your obgyn?

Answer 1

OK- first, as to your choice of wording, it is ok to use STI or STD. STI stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection, while STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease. Generally, when we speak about STDs or STIs- we are talking about a group of infections you can get from having sex. Either term is totally appropriate and correct.

In the US- every state has free public health STD clinics. You can find one in your state at: http://www.ncsddc.org/programsites.htm

In the UK, I think these are referred to as GUM clinics.

Either your doctor or your OB/GYN can test you for STDs, but I would recommend going to a free public health STD clinic because you wont have to pay and because they have the most experience.

Either way, good question- and good luck.

Answer 2

First of all, don't start freaking out over something your not sure of. Also, it's "STD." If you live here in the states, there are so many options for you! Free options! There are free women's help clinics in every major city in the US and Canada that do STD tests for free or very close to. Simply look one up. They are very reliable and often staffed with doctors and nurses that willingly volunteer to help out there. They care about you and won't treat you with the patronizing qualities you might find elsewhere.
hope this helps.

Answer 3

I am assuming meant STD's. You can get tested at any docs office for STD's. Unless you are having problems that your normal doc can't handle there is really no need to see a GYN as your normal doc can do routine pap smears and STD testing etc.

Answer 4

Both can test for STD's, but a OBGYN is a specialist, so they have more experience.

Answer 5

i imagine New Zealand because of their very undesirable results of attempt cricket. lately England has defeated New Zealand very badly also their performance unlike good now. So, i imagine New Zealand is the most less than rated attempt cricket crew contained in the international or i imagine South Africa is the most efficient attempt cricket crew contained in the international.
