Why Should New Yorkers Get Tested?

A recent report by New York City’s Department of Health¹ revealed that STDs are rising in the city, especially in The Bronx. The study states that the region’s most common infections include Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia. The Center for Disease Control² reports that New York state is fourth in the nation regarding adults and adolescents diagnosed with HIV and seventh in primary and secondary Syphilis cases. Of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, Chlamydia is the most rampant in the state, with just over 109,000 cases reported in the state. With statistics like these, we cannot stress to New Yorkers enough the importance of practicing safe sex and getting the proper tests when necessary.

How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of sexual health testing depends on the type and/or number of tests you wish to have conducted. Our individual tests for sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Herpes I/II, HIV 1 and 2, Syphilis, and Trichomoniasis run between $49 and $109 each. We also offer a twin-panel test for chlamydia and gonorrhea, which costs $129 (a savings of $49), and an all-in-one ten-panel test which costs $198 (a savings of $405). For a complete list of test options, visit our “Tests & Pricing” page.

We Are Better Than A “Free Clinic”

At each of our New York City std testing labs, we pride ourselves on creating a stress-free and professional environment for our patients. We won’t make you wait in long lines or stick you in overcrowded waiting rooms. We won’t administer potentially inaccurate or invasive testing procedures. And we’ll never do anything to embarrass you, offend, or jeopardize your trust in our expert staff or top-grade medical services. Our goal is to keep your tests and results completely confidential and off your permanent medical record, which is why we will never report anything to your healthcare provider. Free STD testing services at a public sexual health clinic cannot offer the same level of discretion, speed, or accuracy which sets our service apart from the rest.

Conclusion
