Empowering You to Prioritize Your Sexual Wellness
Sexual health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. At Mito Health, we understand the importance of proactive sexual health management for longevity.
Our comprehensive and confidential Sexual Health Screenings are designed to provide you with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about your health and relationships. We offer a safe, judgment-free environment where you can access essential testing and expert guidance.
The Vital Importance of Sexual Health Screening
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are asymptomatic, meaning they can exist without causing noticeable symptoms. Early detection and treatment not only prevent the progression of diseases and potential long-term health complications but also play a vital role in curbing the spread of STIs within our communities.
- Proactive Protection: Regular testing allows for the early identification of infections, enabling prompt treatment and preventing the development of serious health issues, such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and certain cancers.
- Responsible Partnership: Knowing your status and communicating openly with your partners is a cornerstone of responsible sexual behavior. Regular testing helps protect the health and well-being of everyone involved.
- Peace of Mind and Empowerment: Eliminating uncertainty about your sexual health can significantly reduce stress and anxiety. Regular screenings empower you to take control of your well-being.
- Pregnancy and Prenatal Health: For individuals planning pregnancy or who are currently pregnant, STI testing is essential for safeguarding the health of both mother and child. Untreated STIs can lead to serious complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
Who Should Prioritize Sexual Health Screening?
A full sexual health screening test is recommended for anyone who is sexually active. Specific recommendations include:
- All sexually active individuals, regardless of age.
- Individuals with new or multiple partners

Understanding Our Comprehensive Screening Process
Mito Health offers a full sexual health screening near you that is customized to meet your needs and risk factors. Our screenings utilize advanced testing methods to detect key biomarkers for various STIs.
- Blood Tests: These tests analyze blood samples to detect antibodies for HIV and syphilis, indicating past or present infection, and antigens and antibodies for hepatitis B and C, identifying current or previous exposure to these viruses.
- Urine Tests: These tests analyze urine samples to detect nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) of chlamydia and gonorrhea, accurately identifying these bacterial infections.
- Swab Tests: These tests collect samples from the genital area, throat, or rectum to detect DNA/RNA of chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human papillomavirus (HPV), enabling precise detection of these infections.
- Physical Examinations: We also conduct physical examinations to visually assess any signs of STIs, ensuring comprehensive care for your health.
Our screenings focus on specific biomarkers—antibodies, antigens, and nucleic acids—to provide a comprehensive and accurate sexual health assessment.
