Effective Blood Test for STDs for Men
At Truman Men's Clinic, we offer confidential and comprehensive Blood Tests for STDs for men, a vital component of a thorough sexual health screening. While many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are detected through urine or swab tests, certain critical STIs, like HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B/C, are primarily diagnosed via blood samples. If you are seeking a complete picture of your sexual health, have specific risk factors, or are concerned about exposure, our expert team provides accurate and discreet blood testing, along with clear guidance on interpretation, prevention, and effective treatment.

Components of Blood Test for STDs Care
✔ Confidential Consultation & Risk Assessment – A private discussion about your sexual health history, lifestyle, any potential risk factors (e.g., unprotected sex, sharing needles, multiple partners), and symptoms to determine which blood tests are appropriate.
✔ Symptom Review – We will inquire about any general or specific symptoms (e.g., fatigue, fever, rashes, sores) that might suggest a systemic infection detectable by blood tests.
✔ Blood Sample Collection – A small blood sample is drawn from a vein, typically in your arm, by a trained and experienced phlebotomist.
✔ Laboratory Blood Tests for Key STDs: * HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus): Primarily antibody/antigen combination tests, or PCR RNA tests for early detection. * Syphilis: Screening (e.g., RPR/VDRL) and confirmatory (e.g., TP-PA, EIA) antibody tests. * Hepatitis B Virus (HBV): Tests for surface antigen (HBsAg), surface antibody (Anti-HBs), and core antibody (Anti-HBc) to determine current infection, immunity, or susceptibility. * Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Antibody tests for screening, and PCR RNA tests for confirmation of active infection. * Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 1 & 2: Antibody tests can detect past exposure, distinguishing between oral and genital herpes, though they do not indicate active infection.
✔ Pre-Test Counseling – Discussion about the specific STIs being tested for via blood, relevant window periods (time between exposure and detectable antibodies/antigens), and the implications of test results.
✔ Reliable & Timely Results – Blood test results are typically available within a few business days, and we prioritize prompt notification.
✔ Comprehensive Post-Test Counseling (If Positive) – If any blood test result is positive, we provide immediate and comprehensive counseling on: * Specific Treatment: Prescription of appropriate medications (e.g., antivirals for HIV/Hepatitis, antibiotics for Syphilis) and connection to specialized care as needed. * Prevention of Transmission: Crucial guidance on how to prevent spreading the infection to others (e.g., safe sex practices, not sharing needles). * Partner Notification & Treatment: Advice on how to inform and encourage your sexual partners to get tested and treated. * Follow-up & Monitoring: Importance of ongoing medical care and monitoring for chronic conditions like HIV or Hepatitis.
✔ Post-Test Counseling (If Negative) – If all blood test results are negative, we provide counseling on: * Prevention Strategies: Comprehensive advice on safer sex practices, consistent condom use, and relevant vaccinations (e.g., Hepatitis B, HPV). * PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) for HIV: Discussion of this highly effective preventive measure if you are at ongoing high risk for HIV. * Regular Retesting: Recommendations for routine re-testing based on your ongoing risk factors and sexual activity.
