STD Testing is a quick, painless way to know if you’re infected with an STD. You may get tested at your doctor’s office, a health clinic, or at Planned Parenthood health centers.

It’s important to test regularly for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis. This is especially true if you’ve been in relationships recently, are new to sexual activity or have multiple partners.

Free or Low-Cost

STD testing is important to ensuring your health and the health of your sexual partners. Early detection and treatment of STIs can prevent transmission, serious health complications, and other consequences.

However, STI testing can be expensive and time-consuming. This is especially true if you need to travel to get tested at a clinic, or if you have no insurance.

Luckily, there are many options for STD testing that can save you time and money. One option is a home STD test kit that will give you lab certified results fast and without leaving the comfort of your home.

You can choose single tests for a range of conditions or bundle kits that include multiple STIs. This will make STD testing much more affordable. These at-home kits also offer privacy and convenience that you might not be able to find at a clinic.

Online

If you’re not comfortable coming to a health center or doctor’s office for testing, Planned Parenthood offers telehealth services through our mobile app. With a telehealth appointment, you can get tested from the comfort of your home or on your lunch break at work.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a very common and treatable health problem. They can lead to infection, illness, or even death if left untreated.

STI tests are easy and quick, often painless, and can help you know for sure what’s going on with your body. It’s especially important to get tested if you haven’t used condoms or other preventive methods, or if you have been exposed to someone who has a sexually transmitted disease.

Our caring and non-judgmental staff can provide you with information and resources to help you understand and care for your sexual and reproductive health. From birth control to cancer screenings and pap tests, we can help you stay healthy and live your best life.

In-Clinic

STD testing (also called sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing) is a simple and confidential process that can be completed at your local Planned Parenthood health center. It is a good idea to get tested regularly, especially if you’ve had vaginal, anal or oral sex.

It is also a great idea to get tested when you’re in the early stages of an STI, like chlamydia or gonorrhea. These infections can be very serious and require treatment.

Some people don’t have any symptoms of an STI at all, which is why it is so important to get tested often. Tests can detect a number of different infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV.

Most health centers offer STI testing for free or at low cost, depending on the location. The best way to find out if your health center offers free or low-cost services is to call and ask.

myLAB Box

Planned Parenthood offers a variety of STD testing options. Some cost a bit more, while others offer a panel of tests for a lower price. These are both excellent options for those who want to take multiple tests at once, but don’t have insurance coverage or who live in small towns or villages where access to healthcare is more limited.

Another option is myLAB Box, which delivers at-home STD test kits to your doorstep. The company originated in California and was founded by entrepreneurs who wanted to offer a more accessible way to get lab results without the need for an uncomfortable doctor’s appointment or awkward lab visit.

myLAB Box provides fast, lab-certified results for STDs and other health markers. They also offer a complimentary phone consultation with an affiliate physician if you test positive for an STI. In addition, they offer a Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C test for men who engage in unprotected sex.
