Sexual health testing
Easy, private testing you can trust
We offer testing for STIs, yeast, BV, and more — with fast results and care that puts your comfort first.
Testing and treatment, with care you can trust
Getting tested is a normal part of caring for your body — and at carafem, we make it simple, supportive, and judgment-free. We offer quick, confidential testing and treatment for common STIs and vaginal infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, yeast, BV, trichomoniasis, and more. Most tests are fast, painless, and don’t require a physical exam.
If something comes back positive, we’ll walk you through what it means and help you get the right treatment — no shame, no pressure, just care that works with your life.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia testing and treatment
If you are looking for a test for some of the most common STIs, like gonorrhea or chlamydia, the process is simple. When you come to one of our health centers, you’ll meet with a clinician who will talk to you about your health history, then you’ll provide a urine sample (pee in a cup). We’ll send the sample to a local lab and you can expect results within 5 business days. Should one of the STI tests be positive, don’t worry, we got you.
Herpes testing and treatment
If you have a painful blister or sore in the genital area (vulva, penis, vagina or anus), a herpes screening test can be collected and analyzed at one of our centers. You can expect results within a few days but our clinicians can offer treatment much sooner. While there isn’t a cure for herpes, we can treat your symptoms and get you feeling better.
Vaginal infection testing
Part of our enhanced testing service includes testing for common vaginal infections. If you are experiencing itching or burning of the vulva or increased vaginal discharge, you may have a bacterial or yeast infection. These are easy to test for and treat. Similar to our other testing services, you will meet with a clinician and we, or you, will collect a vaginal swab for testing. Relief is usually available that same day.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) testing and treatment
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) happen! They are common and the good news is we can treat them quickly and easily. We offer UTI testing in our office. All you have to do is provide a urine sample (pee in a cup), and based on results, we can write you a prescription during your visit.
