Who It May Help

What STI Screening Can Include

A sexual health panel at Modern Human MD can be tailored to your specific situation and may include testing for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and other infections depending on your history and risk factors. Dr. Tran takes the time to understand your lifestyle before recommending a panel — so you're tested for what's actually relevant to you, not just a generic checklist. Screening can involve blood draws, urine samples, or swabs depending on what's being assessed. Results are reviewed with you directly, with clear explanations of what each finding means and what, if anything, needs to happen next.

Treatment and Follow-Up Care

If a test comes back positive, Dr. Tran can coordinate treatment directly — whether that's a course of antibiotics, antiviral medication, or referral to a specialist when needed. You won't be left to navigate the next steps on your own. For patients managing ongoing sexual health needs — such as PrEP for HIV prevention, recurring infections, or monitoring after treatment — Dr. Tran can provide continued support as part of your broader care relationship. Sexual health isn't a one-time conversation here. It's an ongoing part of how you're cared for.

Before Your First Visit

  • Think about when you were last tested and for which infections — bring any previous results if you have them
  • Be ready to share a general sense of your sexual history and current partners, so Dr. Tran can recommend the right panel
  • Note any symptoms you've noticed, even if you're not sure they're related
  • Come with any questions you've been hesitant to ask elsewhere — this is a safe space for all of them

Important

STI screening is a routine and responsible part of caring for your health — not a reflection of anything to be ashamed of. Results are kept strictly confidential. Dr. Tran will walk you through your findings clearly and compassionately, and will never make assumptions about your lifestyle or choices. The goal is simply to help you stay informed and healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How often should I get tested for STIs?

It depends on your sexual activity and risk factors. Sexually active individuals with new or multiple partners are generally encouraged to screen at least once a year, while those at higher risk may benefit from more frequent testing. Dr. Tran can help you figure out the right schedule for your situation.

2Will my results be kept confidential?

Absolutely. Your sexual health information is treated with the same strict confidentiality as any other part of your medical care. Dr. Tran will discuss your results with you directly and privately.

3What if I don't have any symptoms — do I still need to be screened?

Yes, and this is actually one of the most important reasons to get tested. Many STIs don't cause noticeable symptoms, which means you can have an infection and not know it. Routine screening is the only reliable way to know your status.

4Can Dr. Tran prescribe treatment if I test positive?

Yes. Many STIs are highly treatable, and Dr. Tran can prescribe medication directly and guide you through the treatment process. For more complex situations, she can also coordinate a referral to the appropriate specialist.

5What is PrEP, and can I get it through Modern Human MD?

PrEP is a daily medication that can significantly reduce the risk of contracting HIV for people who are at higher risk. Dr. Tran can evaluate whether PrEP is appropriate for you and manage your prescription and ongoing monitoring as part of your care.

6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for STI testing and treatment?

Modern Human MD is a direct-pay practice. All costs for testing and treatment are discussed with you in advance so you know exactly what to expect — no surprise bills and no insurance hurdles to slow things down.

Your sexual health deserves the same attention as every other part of you.

Dr. Tran offers confidential, comprehensive STI screening and treatment in a respectful, unhurried setting — because knowing your status is one of the most straightforward things you can do for your overall health.
