What Sexual Health Tests Does TrufaMED Offer?
TrufaMED provides a comprehensive range of confidential health screenings to meet every patient’s needs. Our testing menu includes individual tests for specific concerns as well as full-panel screenings for a complete picture of your sexual health. All testing is performed on-site at our Surfside clinic using the same certified laboratory methods used by hospitals and major medical centers across Miami-Dade County.
Our standard sexual health panel covers chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV (1 and 2), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and trichomoniasis. For patients who want targeted testing, we also offer individual tests so you only pay for what you need. Rapid HIV testing delivers results in approximately 20 minutes, while most other tests return within 24 to 48 hours through our partner laboratory.
We also offer urine-based testing, blood draws, and swab collection depending on the type of screening required. Our clinical team will walk you through the appropriate collection method for each test, ensuring accurate results and a comfortable experience from start to finish.
When Should You Get Tested?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all sexually active adults get tested at least once a year for common infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. If you have multiple partners, engage in unprotected intercourse, or have a new sexual partner, more frequent testing every three to six months is advisable. Many infections are asymptomatic, meaning you can carry and transmit an infection without knowing it.
You should also consider testing if you experience symptoms such as unusual discharge, burning during urination, sores or bumps in the genital area, pelvic pain, or unexplained rashes. However, waiting for symptoms is not a reliable strategy, since infections like chlamydia and HPV often present no symptoms at all, particularly in the early stages.
TrufaMED recommends testing after any potential exposure, even if you feel fine. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, prevents complications like pelvic inflammatory disease or infertility, and protects your partners from unknowing transmission. Walk into our Surfside clinic any day of the week — no appointment is required, and results are handled with complete confidentiality.
Treatment Available On-Site
If your results come back positive, TrufaMED provides same-day treatment for most common infections right here in our clinic. Bacterial infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are treated with antibiotics, and our physicians can prescribe the appropriate medication immediately after your results are confirmed. For viral infections like herpes, our team will develop a management plan including antiviral prescriptions and guidance on reducing transmission risk.
We also provide partner notification support, helping you navigate the conversation about informing current or recent sexual partners so they can get tested and treated as well. This is an important public health step, and our staff handles every aspect with discretion and respect for your privacy.
