Benefit From Rapid Chlamydia Testing in Tampa, FL
New data suggests that the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continues to rise, and chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial STI. Spread through bodily fluids, chlamydia often produces no symptoms and hides in plain sight. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 127 million new cases are diagnosed each year, which further underscores the need for improved access to rapid chlamydia testing.
South Tampa Immediate Care has answered the charge. We are pleased to offer rapid chlamydia testing on a walk-in basis in Tampa, Florida. Our state-of-the-art urgent care center is equipped with the binx health io Diagnostic System® (binx io), the world’s first FDA-cleared, rapid molecular point-of-care instrument. Using the revolutionary binx io platform, we can confirm a chlamydia diagnosis in approximately 30 minutes after taking a simple vaginal swab sample (women) or urine sample (men).
We Offer Chlamydia Testing and Treatment in a Single Visit
In many healthcare settings, a patient must wait several days for the results of a chlamydia test, then return to the point of care for treatment if needed. By allowing us to provide testing and treatment in a single visit, the binx io streamlines the patient experience and increases the likelihood that they will receive appropriate treatment. In addition to minimizing the risk of health complications associated with untreated chlamydia, such as infertility, it also limits the further transmission of this prevalent but treatable STI.
If you have questions about rapid chlamydia testing, the team at South Tampa Immediate Care has answers. Visit our walk-in clinic at 602 S. Howard Ave. in South Tampa, FL, today.
