Confidential STD testing, results in 1–2 days

Single tests start at $24 (hepatitis A, B or C) and run up to $129 for HIV RNA early detection. The 10-test panel is $139 and the 13-test panel is $259. A small physician order fee may be added at checkout.

For context: the same 10 tests bought individually would total about $534, urgent care commonly bills $400–$700 for a comparable panel plus a visit fee, and a hospital lab can be higher still. Insurance is not accepted — that is a privacy decision, not an oversight.

Most results post to your secure account within 1–2 business days after your lab visit. Weekends generally do not count toward that window, so a Friday afternoon visit may land Monday or Tuesday. HIV RNA early detection can take one additional day.

No to all three. A physician's order is included in the price, and partner labs accept walk-ins during normal business hours. You can go the same day you order, including on the way home from work.

You check in with the test code from your account rather than explaining your visit. No paperwork is completed at the counter and no ID is required. Your results are released only to your own online account.

No. The service does not accept insurance, so no claim is filed, nothing is reported to your insurer, and nothing is added to your medical record. That also keeps the test out of databases insurers sometimes check.

One legal exception applies to every lab in the country: certain infections (HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B and C) must be reported to state health agencies. Reporting is statistical and does not go to your employer, your school, or your partner.

A neutral company descriptor — not "STD", not the name of the test, and not the name of this website. Result notifications are equally discreet, and the service will not call or text you unless you opt in.

10-test if you want a standard full screening after a new partner or an exposure: HIV-1 and HIV-2, herpes 1 and 2, hepatitis A, B and C, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.

13-test if you have recurring urinary symptoms with negative results before, if a partner tested positive for trichomoniasis or mycoplasma, or if you also want a basic wellness check (blood count, urinalysis, liver function). It adds trichomoniasis, mycoplasma genitalium and the wellness panel for $120 more.

Yes, and it is the most common mistake. Every infection has a window period before it becomes detectable; testing inside that window can produce a false negative that feels like reassurance. Use the timing chart above and, if you are early, plan a repeat test when the window closes.

You can book a phone consultation with a licensed clinician for $95. They will explain the result, discuss treatment, and can send a prescription to a pharmacy for you and your partner where appropriate. Your report is also printable if you would rather see your own doctor.

Most common STIs are curable with a short antibiotic course; herpes and HIV are manageable with medication. A positive result is a treatment plan, not a life sentence.

Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, as are major credit and debit cards, prepaid cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, money orders, cashier's checks and cryptocurrency. Health insurance is the one payment method deliberately not accepted.

No. This is in-person collection at a partner lab: a trained phlebotomist draws your blood and you provide a urine sample. That matters for accuracy — poor self-collection is the most common reason an at-home sample cannot be processed and has to be redone.

All tests in the panels are FDA-approved or FDA-cleared, and every sample is processed in a CLIA-certified lab. Once the window period has passed, accuracy is in the region of 99% for the infections tested. Early testing is the main source of misleading results, not the assay itself.

It has operated since 2013 as part of Analyte Health, has processed more than two million tests, holds an A+ BBB rating, and works with CLIA-certified labs including Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp. It is also the only service offering an FDA-approved HIV RNA early detection test.

There are 4,500+ partner patient service centres nationwide, typically Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp sites. Many open early, stay open into the evening, or offer Saturday hours. Enter your ZIP code in the locator before ordering to confirm a convenient site — the locator shows real hours, not estimates.

Everywhere in the United States except North Dakota and Vermont, where the provider is not licensed to operate. If you are in either state, a local clinic or your primary care provider is the right route.

Age and consent rules vary by state, and this service is built around adult self-ordering. If you are under 18, call the Care Advisors at 1-800-456-2323 before ordering so they can confirm what applies where you live. Many public clinics also offer confidential testing to minors at low or no cost.

You can cancel within 21 days of purchase for a refund minus a 20% cancellation fee. After 21 days, the amount is issued as credit toward future tests rather than a cash refund. If you have not visited a lab yet, cancel before you go.

No fasting is required for the STD panels. You will give a urine sample, so it helps not to urinate for about an hour beforehand if you can. No other preparation is needed, and you can eat and take medications as usual.

No. There is no general HPV test for people without symptoms; HPV screening is done through cervical cancer screening (Pap and HPV co-testing) under age-specific guidelines. A panel that omits HPV is not incomplete — it is following standard practice. Ask your gynecologist or primary care provider about cervical screening separately.

The 4th-generation test looks for both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen and is reliable around 4–6 weeks after exposure; it is included in both panels. The RNA test looks for the virus's genetic material and can detect infection as early as 9–11 days after exposure. It costs $129 standalone or $119 as a panel add-on, and is worth it if your exposure was within the last three weeks.

You should tell partners who may have been exposed — it is how the cycle of reinfection stops. If telling them directly feels impossible, the partner-notification tool sends a discreet email that suggests they get tested, without your name attached. It takes about two minutes and can be done from your account.

Only promotional codes issued through the official affiliate programme are valid. Random codes from coupon sites often fail at checkout or are tied to expired campaigns. The reliable way to lower the price is choosing a panel over individual tests — $139 for ten infections versus roughly $534 bought separately.

That is exactly who routine screening is for. Most STIs are asymptomatic, which is why they spread. Waiting for a symptom means waiting until an infection has had months to cause damage — or to reach someone else.
