A member asked:

Can you tell me if i could go to the er for an emergency std screening?

Confusing question: A possible sti does not meet criteria of difficulty breathing, broken bones, active bleeding, or other issue where delay would cause loss of life or function of a body part. Scary as the thought may be, it is not an emergency and should not interfere with those waiting in an er for a true emergent problem.A visit to a clinic within a few days is adequate.
