Alcohol and STD test: Alcohol will not affect the outcome of the test, if that is your concern. However, if this is your plan it is advised that you do not drive and reduce other potential risks that come with alcohol use. There is a very effective behavioral treatment for fear of blood and fainting. Consider consulting a psychologist, including those on HealthTap, who are familiar with treating this fear. Be well.
