There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your testing cadence depends on your sex life, your partners, and your peace of mind. Here's a practical guide.
Routine STI screening is one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do for your sexual health. The right cadence depends on your situation — but most sexually active adults benefit from screening at least once a year, and some quarterly.
What this looks like in practice
We meet people where they are. That means short, honest conversations, plain-language answers, and a plan that fits your life — not a one-size-fits-all script.
- Same-day appointments are often available.
- Tuesday evenings open until 8 pm.
- Telehealth visits when you can't come in.
"Good medicine is a relationship — not a transaction."
