Other Ways to Get Tested

Your Doctor

Your primary care provider can order a full STD panel. Most insurance covers screening as preventive care with no copay. You'll need to specifically request herpes (HSV IgG) and hepatitis testing — they're not part of a standard panel.

Cost: $0–$50 copay · Results: 1–7 days · Insurance: Yes

Planned Parenthood

Over 600 health centers nationwide with sliding-scale fees. They test for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

Cost: Sliding scale / free · Results: 1–14 days · Insurance: Accepted, not required

Cost: Free or low-cost · Results: 1–14 days · Insurance: Not required

Urgent Care / Walk-In Clinics

Good for same-day testing, especially if you have visible symptoms that should be examined. MinuteClinic (CVS), CareNow, MedExpress, and independent walk-in clinics can order STD tests. Call ahead to confirm availability.

Cost: $100–$250 · Results: 1–5 days · Insurance: Usually accepted

Important: Herpes Testing Is Not Routine

The CDC does not recommend routine herpes screening for people without symptoms. Most doctors, clinics, and health departments will not test for herpes unless you specifically ask. If you want HSV-1 or HSV-2 testing, you will likely need to request it directly or use an online lab order where you choose your own tests.
