In order for more people to get tested for STDs, and avoid the stigma that is attached to having caught an STD, there have been anonymous STD testing center in Alexandria opening up throughout the United States and Europe, in nearly every city including Alexandria, Virginia. Now that no doctors appointment is needed, and in fact, you can usually walk right in, get tested in complete anonymity, there's absolutely no excuse for not getting STD Tested on a regular basis if you're being careless with your sexual health. And also, if there's any chance that your significant other is being careless with their sexual health, you're at risk as well.
Each individual test for a particular STD requires a different procedure, designed to make the tests as near hundred percent accurate as absolutely possible. And, in many cases if you've been exposed to one STD there's a pretty good chance you've been exposed to two or more STDs and should get tested for all of them in order to satisfy your doubts and fears. Your significant other should also get tested at the same time, and if either of you is found to be positive for any STD you should both be treated at the same exact time in order to be confident you don't re-catch the disease again.
One of the reasons for the proliferation of the confidential STD centers, like the one in Alexandria, is due to the fear of other people, your workplace, your insurance carrier, and your family finding out that you have an STD. Some STDs require expensive treatment for the rest of your life and very few insurance companies would want to take on this expensive endeavor. No matter what they say, few businesses would knowingly hire someone who it tested positive for an incurable, long-term STD. For this reason it is better to keep STD testing confidential and anonymous, to protect yourself from any discrimination from the workplace and insurance companies.
Most anonymous STD testing centers offer counseling from trained professionals on how to cope with having an STD, plus an initial consultation with a medical professional, able to write a prescription for the drugs needed to either cure or control any STD, if you're found to be positive. If, on the other hand are your tests come back negative, it would be a good time for you to redouble your efforts to use protection in every sexual encounter for the rest of your life.
