Walk-In STD Testing Available at South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, FL
If you think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or you are experiencing symptoms, you’re probably concerned, and that’s understandable. There’s no need to stress yourself out even further by waiting for an appointment to be tested. At South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, FL, we perform STD testing on a walk-in basis seven days a week. This means you can simply stop by whenever it’s most convenient for you, talk with a board-certified or board-eligible physician, receive an appropriate test, begin your treatment (if necessary), and get on with your life. We can eliminate the waiting – and the worry!
STDs don’t always produce noticeable symptoms, but when they do, the signs are often vague or flu-like and easily attributed to other, less serious conditions. Therefore, it can be difficult to know whether you have an STD without being tested. At South Tampa Immediate Care, we encourage everyone to become familiar with the common signs of STDs and to promptly bring them to the attention of a medical professional if they occur. Remember, at our office, you can discuss any concerns you have in a nonjudgmental environment.
Common STD symptoms in women include:
- Unusual vaginal discharge or bleeding
- Vaginal itching
- Blisters, warts, or rash in the genital area
- Pain or burning sensations during urination

Common STD symptoms in men include:
