Get Tested, Get Treated!

Anyone under the age of 25 who is sexually active should get tested annually. At any age, if you think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, you and your sex partner(s) should visit a health clinic, hospital, or doctor for testing and treatment.

As with all appointments, your information is confidential. The results will be the same day unless the appointment is near the end of the day, in which case they will be back before noon the next day.

FAQs about the Chlamydia/Gonorrhea rapid test appointments:

  • Can I get tested for other STIs during this appointment? 

    No. This is just for rapid chlamydia/gonorrhea testing. If you want further testing, you must make an appointment with a Healthcare provider.

  • Will it be billed to my insurance?

    Yes, or you can choose to pay the cash price.  You will only be billed for the cost of the chlamydia/gonorrhea testing.  There is no charge for the visit with the nurse.

  • How long will my appointment take?

    The appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes.  You will be meeting with a nurse who will ask you a few questions and collect your sample (urine for individuals with a penis and a vaginal swab for individuals with a vagina). 

     

  • When will I get my results?

    In most cases, you will get your results on the same day. If your appointment is near the end of the day,  you will receive results before noon the following day.   

  • How will I get my results?

    Your results will be communicated with you via the patient portal. 

  • If results are positive, who do I have to tell?

    Individuals treated for chlamydia or gonorrhea should tell their recent sex partners so the partner can see a healthcare provider. “Recent” partners include anyone the patient had anal, vaginal, or oral sex within the 60 days before symptom onset or diagnosis.

  • How are chlamydia and/or gonorrhea treated?

    Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are bacterial infections treated with specific antibiotics that kill the bacteria. Antibacterial treatment typically resolves both infections, making them curable.

    Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections are notifiable conditions per State of Washington law. CHS and your healthcare provider DO NOT report to the university or to anyone other than the local health department as required by law.
