Answers:
A general or family physician can order the blood work and to be honest with you, these tests are done pretty routinely anymore!.!.!.!.just like an annual physical!.

I'd recommend making an appointment and "voila"!.!.!.you should have your results in just a few days!

Hope this helps, best of luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off!.!.!.are you male/female !?

If you are a female you will need a gynecological exam to have them run for chlamydia,gonerhea, and i think syphilis!.!.!.!.but your family doctor can order HIV(that is a blood test)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, any GP/FP doctor can do this; your local department of public health might have a list of locations of where you can do it without a referral too, even some family planning centers offer the service!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
