Is There a Difference Between STDs and STIs?

A sexually transmitted infection (STI) occurs when a virus, bacteria or other pathogen enters the body, sometimes without causing any noticeable symptoms. If left untreated, an STI can progress into a sexually transmitted disease (STD), which is when symptoms and complications begin to appear. In other words, most STDs begin as STIs. That’s why regular testing and early detection are so important, they help prevent infections from developing into diseases and allow for timely treatment.

If the STD requires lab work AFC can send it off and have it back within a week. Faster results are more common when the test is for a specific STD, while full panel tests can be expected anywhere from 2-7 days. As you wait for the results, we will provide you with a temporary treatment plan and then a personal one after the results come back.
