Frequently asked questions
- What’s the difference between and STD and STI?
Sexually transmitted disease (STD) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) are two terms that are commonly used to describe infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis, that are transmitted through intimate contact. While scientists may call out some technical differences between these terms, they are most often used interchangeably by clinicians and are essentially the same.
- What treatments are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis?
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are curable STIs that can be treated quickly with antibiotics. Virtuwell can prescribe treatment or recommend next steps if you or your partner have positive test results.
- If my partner tested positive for an STD, do I need to be tested too?
Regular STD screenings are always a good idea. That said, most states in the U.S. allow you to receive treatment without the need for testing through a practice called expedited partner therapy.
- How often should you be tested for STDs?
If you’re sexually active it’s a good idea to be tested every year for STD’s, even if you feel fine. Some STDs have no symptoms so you may not know you have one unless you get tested. You should also be tested if you start experiencing symptoms, or after having unprotected sex with a partner whose STI status is unknown.
- If my test is positive, is treatment included?
No. To keep your care as simple and affordable as possible, we separate the cost of testing and treatment. If you need treatment with your positive test result, you can start a new visit right away for only $59.
- How safe and accurate are these tests?
Our at home testing kits contain the same tests and collection device trusted by many doctors’ offices. And, we process your sample in the same laboratory used by care providers across our HealthPartners’ clinics and hospitals. Our laboratory is Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified and accredited by the College of American Pathologists. The performance characteristics of this collection method has been determined by our laboratory and found to perform equivalent to provider collected samples.
- Which lab processes the test kits?
Our laboratory is part of HealthPartners which is an award-winning nonprofit care system and health plan. Each test is processed by a HealthPartners Laboratory in Minnesota. Our laboratory is a CLIA certified high complexity laboratory and accredited by the College of American Pathologists. This means we have met or exceeded accepted laboratory standards of care. We also submit ourselves to regular inspections as well as maintain rigorous daily quality control and quality assurance metrics.
