Preparation for STD tests:
- Fasting is NOT required.
- Urine test is a part of STD screen. Please come to the clinic without voiding urine for 1 to 2 hours.
- Initial stream of urine (beginning part of urination) is important for STD tests.
- Initial 10 ml of the urine that washes out the urethra is required.
- Avoid collecting more than 10 ml. Larger quantity will dilute the sample and may compromise the accuracy of test.
- Some STDs are tested regionally. For example, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea tested in genitalia will not reveal these infections in throat or rectum.
- Relevant sites should be tested independently based on the nature of the exposure.
