Sexually transmitted infections are common, and many cause few or no symptoms. Sanova provides confidential STD testing and STI testing as part of its current on-site testing services — professional medical care, without judgment.
Our goal is straightforward: confidential, professional medical care without judgment. Your clinician will help determine which testing is appropriate and discuss next steps based on your results.
Urinary, genital and skin symptoms can overlap across different infections — testing choice depends on your exposure and symptoms. These are common reasons to seek evaluation:
Any new or unexplained symptom is worth discussing with a clinician.
A known or possible exposure is a reason to seek evaluation.
Being notified by a partner is a valid reason to get tested.
Testing may be appropriate because of:
Depending on the infection being evaluated, STI testing can involve:
The exact tests needed depend on symptoms, sexual history, exposure and other factors.
Many STIs are treatable, and several common bacterial STIs are curable with appropriate therapy. The exact treatment depends on the infection identified.
Getting tested should be quick, private and free of judgment. At Sanova Urgent Care on North Oracle Road you walk in without an appointment, see a provider in a private room, and get the right tests for your situation — with same-day treatment when you have symptoms or a known exposure. Results come to you by phone or portal, and self-pay pricing is posted for anyone who'd rather keep the visit off an insurance record.
Symptomatic patients and known exposures are treated in the same visit — oral antibiotics sent to your pharmacy, or an injectable dose given in the clinic when that's the standard of care — so you're not waiting days on a result to feel better or to stop transmission. Partners can be evaluated and treated here too.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea: 1–2 weeks. Syphilis: 3–6 weeks. HIV: 2–4 weeks (with a follow-up test). Hepatitis: 6–8 weeks. Tested too early? We'll tell you exactly when to come back. Possible HIV exposure in the last 72 hours? Walk in now — post-exposure medication (PEP) is time-sensitive.
Private exam rooms, a discreet front desk, results delivered the way you choose, and no results shared with parents of adult patients, partners or employers. Arizona law allows patients 12 and older to consent to STI testing and treatment on their own. Self-pay pricing avoids an insurance record entirely.
Check in (or pre-register online so you can skip the clipboard), then a provider talks with you privately about symptoms, exposure and timing and recommends a panel. Urine samples and swabs are collected in the exam room; blood is drawn on site. If treatment is indicated today, it starts today. Rapid results are reviewed before you leave; send-out results — usually 1 to 3 business days — are reviewed by a provider and delivered by phone or portal, with treatment called in if anything is positive. The entire visit typically takes under 45 minutes.
Burning with urination, discharge, pelvic or testicular pain, a sore, bump or rash in the genital area, bleeding between periods or after sex, and flu-like illness a few weeks after a new partner. Many of these overlap with urinary tract infections, yeast and skin irritation — which is exactly why a provider exam plus testing beats guessing.
Testing is billed with your urgent care visit; Medicare, Tricare, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, AHCCCS and most major plans cover STI testing. Self-pay prices for the visit and each test are on our insurance and costs page. Related: on-site lab testing · all walk-in services · Oro Valley · Catalina · meet the providers.

Yes — most do not. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, hepatitis, herpes and syphilis can all be present for weeks to years without noticeable symptoms, which is why testing after a new partner or an exposure matters even when you feel fine. Untreated infections can still be passed on and can cause long-term problems.
Yes. Your visit, results and treatment are protected health information under HIPAA and are shared only with you and anyone you authorize. We don’t share results with parents of adult patients, partners or employers. Results are delivered by phone or through the patient portal, whichever you prefer. Self-pay patients can avoid an insurance record altogether.
Yes. Burning with urination, discharge, pelvic pain and frequent urination can be a urinary tract infection — or chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis or a yeast infection. We test for the likely causes in one visit so you’re treated for the right thing the first time.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea (urine or swab), trichomoniasis, syphilis (blood), HIV (blood), hepatitis B and C (blood), and herpes (swab of a sore, or blood test when there is no sore). A provider helps you choose the right panel based on your exposure, symptoms and timing.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be detected about 1 to 2 weeks after exposure; syphilis at 3 to 6 weeks; HIV with a 4th-generation test at about 2 to 4 weeks (with a confirmatory test later); hepatitis at 6 to 8 weeks. If you test too early we’ll tell you when to return for a repeat. If you had a high-risk HIV exposure in the last 72 hours, come in right away — post-exposure medication is time-sensitive.
Yes. If you have symptoms or a known exposure, we can start treatment for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis in the same visit — including an injectable dose in the clinic when that’s the standard — rather than waiting days for results. Partners can also be evaluated and treated here.
Rapid urine and swab tests may result within the visit or the next day; blood tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis usually take 24 to 72 hours. A provider reviews every result and contacts you by phone or portal — your choice — with the result and treatment if needed.
Yes. In Arizona, minors 12 and older can consent to STI testing and treatment on their own. Adult patients’ results are never shared without authorization. If you’d rather not have the visit on an insurance record, self-pay pricing is available and posted.
With insurance, testing is billed with your urgent care visit at your plan’s urgent care copay; most plans — Medicare, Tricare, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana and AHCCCS — cover STI testing. Self-pay prices for the visit and each test are posted on our insurance and costs page so you can see the total before anything is collected.
Not always — ingrown hairs, folliculitis, contact irritation and yeast are common — but herpes, syphilis and HPV can look similar. A provider can usually tell on exam and swab or test what needs testing. Come in while the sore is present; herpes is easiest to confirm from a fresh lesion.
If you’ve had a possible HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, walk in immediately — we can evaluate you for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and start it or arrange it the same day. For ongoing prevention (PrEP), we can test, counsel and connect you with a prescriber; ask during your visit.
