## Labs you did today

- Pregnancy

- HIV

- Syphilis

- Hepatitis

## Next step: Follow-Up

Make an appointment to follow up with your doctor in {1-2} weeks to discuss the results from the above tests.  This visit will also give you a chance to bring up any symptoms you may be having.

## Later Follow-Up:

Because sometimes infections do not show up in your blood immediately, you should return in 3-6 weeks to have these labs rechecked:

- HIV

- Syphilis

- Hepatitis (if you are not immune)

## Immunizations

Finally, it is a good idea to get these immunizations, if you don't already have them:

- Hepatitis B

- HPV (this is a virus that causes genital warts)

You can walk in to the immunizations clinic and request these, you don't need an appointment!
