Getting Tested in Philadelphia

Why Should Philadelphia Residents Get Tested?

A recent report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that Philadelphia’s rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia cases are much higher than the national averages. The organization cited 1,278 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 and 456 cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 (for comparison’s sake, the national average is 540 and 179 respectively). In the state of Pennsylvania, there were a total of 56,930 new cases of chlamydia and 14,603 new cases of gonorrhea in 2017. With statistics like these, it’s more imperative than ever that people practice safe sex and get tested for sexually transmitted diseases when appropriate.

How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of testing depends on the type and/or number of tests you’re wishing to have conducted. Our individual tests (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) as well as 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.
