Getting Tested for STIs: A Private and Confidential Experience with Zoom Care

When it comes to getting tested for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), many people may feel anxious or embarrassed about visiting a healthcare provider in person. Fortunately, with the advancement of telehealth technology, you can now get tested for STIs privately and confidentially through video consultations like Zoom Care. At Planned Parenthood, we understand that seeking medical attention is already a big step, and we're here to make the experience as comfortable and discreet as possible.

To ensure your visit goes smoothly, it's helpful to prepare ahead of time by making a list of things you want to discuss with your healthcare provider. This may include sharing information about:

* Your health and medical history

* Any symptoms you're experiencing, including when they started and if they've changed over time

* Any previous treatments or medications you've tried

* Your insurance coverage, pharmacy, and primary care doctor

During the telehealth visit, your healthcare provider will ask you questions similar to what they would during an in-person appointment. It's essential to be honest and open about your symptoms and medical history to receive accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Planned Parenthood's Urgent Care 24/7 in Atlanta offers video consultations for a wide range of medical conditions, including STIs, wounds, fractures, allergies, asthma, Covid-19, and the flu. To ensure a seamless experience, make sure your device is fully charged or plugged in, and have a way to take notes during the visit.

If you're having a video consultation, find a well-lit area where your healthcare provider can see you clearly. Additionally, choose a quiet and private space where you won't be disturbed. Remember, our staff at Planned Parenthood has heard it all before – we're here to help, not judge.
