About

Medical Testing Center on Chula Vista's Telegraph Canyon Road provides confidential specimen-collection services for sexually transmitted infection screening, including FDA-cleared blood and urine panels covering HIV-1/2, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A/B/C, herpes-1, herpes-2, and trichomoniasis. The facility operates as a CLIA-certified laboratory draw station where results from comprehensive STI panels support follow-up care coordination with primary care providers across the South Bay, including San Ysidro Health Chula Vista for patients who require treatment referrals. Located in the 91910 zip code along the Telegraph Canyon Road commercial corridor between the Broadway spine and the eastern Eastlake district, the center serves walk-in and appointment-based patients for both physician-ordered and self-initiated lab work. Testing methodology relies on nucleic acid amplification testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia detection and fourth-generation antigen/antibody immunoassay for HIV screening, both meeting CDC-recommended diagnostic standards. Prescription fulfillment for positive-result patients who require antibiotic or antiviral therapy routes through local dispensaries such as Chula Vista Pharmacy once a licensed clinician reviews the lab findings and issues a treatment order. The ten-panel comprehensive STI screen represents the facility's highest-throughput service, combining venipuncture and urine-specimen collection into a single visit with results delivered through an encrypted portal within two business days.
