A member asked:

How accurate or reliable are on campus health clinics when it comes to blood test for stds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reliable: Most health campuses have qualified practitioners on site to evaluate students. If they obtained specimen and sent it off, odds are they sent it to one of the few national labs to run the tests. This would be accurate. If unsure then, seek a second opinion.
