What STD Testing Does Cohen Medical Practice (CMP) Provide?
We provide both testing and counseling services at all three of our NYC locations. Our STD testing services include the collection of urine and blood samples for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, and other STD screening. We also provide HPV consultations and birth control services to keep you and your partners safe.
How Can STD Testing and Counseling Help?
Whether or not you have an STD should not be a determining factor in practicing safety. STD testing can help identify any underlying conditions you may have while ongoing counseling can provide you with the information necessary to prevent STDs from spreading. Moreover, counseling for those who have certain health conditions can help determine which preventative measures are best for staying safe.
What Does STD Testing Involve?
STD testing is simple in most cases. During a standard visit, we will perform a physical exam along with asking you a series of questions related to your health and sexual activity. Afterward, we will ask for a urine sample and perform a blood draw to run additional tests. The entire process can be done in under an hour and will help us identify if you are at risk of or have a sexually transmitted disease.
What Can I Expect?
Following your visit, we will perform the necessary tests to determine whether you have an STD. Along with our STD testing, we can provide you with ongoing support and consultation services to help keep you happy and healthy. Stopping the spread of STDs is vital for keeping others safe. Therefore, we are happy to offer advice in any way we can through our 24/7 hotline service.
