According to a 2019 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)¹, Florida is one of the five states that accounts for 70% of Congenital Syphilis cases in the U.S. A separate report from the Florida Department of Health Bureau of Communicable Diseases² in the same year records that the rate of chlamydia cases in Alachua county was 1007.3 per 100,000 people. To curb these numbers, sexually active adults in Florida need to get proper STD screening as often as possible.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be contracted and passed on unknowingly, which is why they spread quickly. Many STDs like chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and genital herpes are asymptomatic, and the only way to know if you’ve contracted any STDs is to get tested frequently. Regular STD screening helps you to avoid the far-reaching impact of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
At Priority STD testing, we’ve made the STD screening process easy. We provide tests and screenings for gonorrhea trichomoniasis, HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, and other STDs that can affect your reproductive health
You can book your test online and get screened at our Gainesville STD testing centers, or any other Florida health center near you. We have several testing locations in different parts of the state, and you can find one that is closest to you via our website. The STD screening happens in our private diagnostic facility rather than a health center or medical clinic, so you are rest assured of confidentiality. No one in the waiting area or lobby will know why you’re there.
Requiring nothing more than a simple blood or urine sample, the testing process takes under half an hour, and your results are ready in as little as 24 to 72 hours.

STD Testing FAQs for Gainesville FL
What Can I Expect When I Get to the Collection Site?
Throughout the screening process, we provide patients with the highest level of confidentiality, and you’ll never be sent to a public clinic or doctor’s office. We also understand how embarrassing swab testing can be, so all we require from you is a blood and urine sample.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Yes, we accept insurance, and we can provide all of the necessary information to enable you to file a self-claim. We utilize Quest Diagnostics, which is the largest lab network in the nation. This means that most healthcare providers will offer some form of reimbursement for your screening. We will never directly bill your insurance to ensure your results are private and kept off of your permanent health record.
Are My Results Confidential?
At Priority STD Testing, our patients trust us to conduct confidential screenings, which means your lab order and results will never be disclosed to a third party, including your healthcare provider and personal doctor.
Our process is HIPAA compliant, and we abide by all state and federal regulations for reporting STD screening results. In addition, all your personal identifiable information is encrypted, whether you’re placing a lab order or receiving your results.
Do You Offer Walk-Ins?
You can walk in for your test at any time without a prior appointment. All you need to do is place your lab order online or via the phone with one of our care counselors.
How Does the Charge Appear On My Bank Statement?
Due to the sensitive nature of STD testing, our services will appear on your bank statement as a payment to “SFHT”. Alternatively, you can opt for prepaid gift cards for facilitating transactions.
Can I Switch Testing Sites?
There are no restrictions and you can switch testing locations whenever you want. Your lab order can also be used at all Quest Diagnostics collection sites within the same state. If you wish to test in a different state, simply call to speak with a care counselor who can update your requisition. There are no fees associated with switching testing sites either.
How Do I Set Up a Test?
Our website and call center are available 24/7 for all lab orders. If you need any help with scheduling your tests, our care counselors are ready to help you.
