STDs in 2019 are steadily increasing across the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Since 2016, the number of cases for multiple STDs have risen dramatically. 

Even though STDs are on the rise, patients still need a private and respectful way to get the testing services they need. At Instant Urgent Care Berkeley, we provide same-day testing at our private exam rooms to ensure that you can monitor your sexual health. Our physicians onsite can help coordinate any tests or treatments you will need. 

Any patient that had any recent sexual activity with a new partner should get an updated STD test. A few ways to prevent and treat STDs include: 

  • Getting an STD test or screening after any sexual activity. Additionally, patients should get updated screenings as they increase sexual activity or have multiple partners. 
  • Preventing STDs by using condoms and other preventive methods to reduce STDs. Additionally, patients should review their sexual history and their partner’s before engaging in intercourse. 
  • Finding treatment and screening at a local walk-in clinic or urgent care center. Many walk-in clinics provide low-cost screenings and treatment options for patients.

A Department of Transportation physical or a “DOT physical” is a required physical exam that evaluates a driver’s ability to safely operate large commercial vehicles. For commercial drivers near or around Berkeley, Instant Urgent Care provides DOT physicals they need based on their busy driving schedule! 

Trucking companies, towing businesses, and similar types of commercial entities are required to have drivers that meet both Federal DOT and state DOT guidelines for license renewal. Without a DOT physical a commercial driver cannot legally operate a vehicle.

DOT physicals examine key health indicators including chronic diseases, long-term health risks, vision, and other important factors related to driving performance. Specifically, the State of California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) explains that a driver’s ability to operate a commercial vehicle is based on federal health requirements.
