Comprehensive STD Testing for Your Health and Peace of Mind

The Role of Blood Tests for STD

Sexually transmitted diseases are infections transmitted through oral, vaginal, or anal sex. They’re relatively common in the United States but can be challenging to diagnose without help.

You may not have any symptoms or some that can be mistaken for other health issues. STD blood tests give you much-needed certainty and clarity. That’s important because early treatment reduces your risk of problems down the road and prevents you from spreading the infection to other partners.

With Personalabs, getting fast and accurate STD testing near you is easy. These tests are offered as part of a wider collection of infectious disease tests. Just shop online for the test you need, download the lab order, and take it to one of our more than 4,000 partner facilities. You’ll get the results in your confidential and secure online portal, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Types of STD Tests

Some of the most prevalent STDs include:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Genital herpes
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Syphilis
• Trichomoniasis
• Hepatitis B
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

With Personalabs, you can get blood work for STDs that check for several types of infections, such as the Comprehensive STD Blood Test or the 11 Panel STD Blood Test. You can also find online STD testing orders for the major types of STDs, including syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea, and various types of herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Who Should Get Tested for STDs?

Generally, you should consider getting an STD test if you are sexually active with different partners, or if you have a past history of STDs.

You can’t always base this decision on the presence of symptoms; if you have any, they vary based on the bacteria, virus, or fungi behind your infection. Testing guidelines may also vary, depending on the type of STD.

When To Do STD Lab Testing

You may choose to do regular STD blood tests to ensure you’re safe while sexually active. A physician or healthcare clinic may also suggest an appropriate testing schedule. Or you may want to rule out an STD if you have symptoms such as:

• Pain during sex or urination
• Sores or other unusual skin changes in the genitals or rectum
• Vaginal itching or smelly discharge
• Itching or discharge in the penis

What About STI Testing?

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) may not always cause symptoms, but they can still pose serious health risks. Infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, and herpes simplex virus are common and often go undetected without proper screening. Testing through a urine test, urinalysis, or blood-based medical test can help identify these conditions early—even before symptoms like rash, irritation, or dysuria appear.

Regular STI screening is especially important if you have multiple partners, are starting a new relationship, or are planning for pregnancy. A health care provider or physician can recommend appropriate tests based on your risk level. Early detection supports timely access to medication or therapy and helps prevent the spread of bacteria or virus-based infections like hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus. Getting tested through a health clinic or medical laboratory ensures accurate results and supports better long-term health.
