In the majority of cases, the test results for sexually transmitted diseases and infections are confidential. However, this is not always the case, depending on the state and age of the patient. In other cases, STD tests may not be automatically confidential and may require that the patient informs the physician of their wish to keep the results confidential. At East County Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic in El Cajon, CA, we are happy to provide confidential STD testing to our patients. The entire testing process is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which means that your lab results and medical information will be kept automatically and completely confidential.
