Where can I go to get tested for a sexually transmitted disease (STD)? How much does an STD test cost?
Most clinics and hospitals offer free or low-cost STD testing. Find a clinic near you or call 1-800-230-PLAN (7526) to locate a Planned Parenthood near you.
When you call about getting tested, ask about which tests they perform, how much they cost and whether it’s confidential—meaning they keep your testing and results secret. Most clinics test confidentially. Most clinics also provide counseling, which is great to have in case any tests come back positive.
