STD Testing Austin TX

Getting Tested in Austin

Every one of our tests is approved by the FDA and our analyses are conducted in CLIA certified laboratories by trained professionals. Through these processes, we’re able to give our patients nothing but conclusive and comprehensive results.

Though just because we are thorough, does not mean patients are forced to clear their entire schedules to have a simple test done. This isn’t the case at all. Our testing processes are quick and non-invasive and most patients are in and out of our testing facilities in less than a half hour. Once collected, a patient’s sample is sent via rush order to one of our labs for processing and results are compiled and sent back in as little as one business day.

In terms of finding an STD testing option in Austin, you won’t find a better option than one of our convenient testing centers. Simply order your test online and stop by the location most convenient to you during normal business hours.

Why Should Austin Residents Get Tested?

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the overall rate of STIs in Travis County has increased by 34% from 2014 to 2018 with significant increases in cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and congenial syphilis. And in terms of HIV diagnoses, the state of Texas ranks third across the United States with more than 4,400 cases reported. With statistics like these, we cannot stress to Austin residents how important it is to practice safe sex and get the proper tests when necessary.

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).

We Are Better Than A “Free Clinic”

At each one of our Austin testing facilities, we go out of our way to give our patients an inviting and non-threatening setting. You won’t be stuck in long lines or overcrowded waiting rooms waiting on us. Our procedures are non-invasive and fast. And we’ll never do anything to compromise your privacy or trust in our services. Our goal is to keep your tests and results completely confidential and off of your permanent medical record which is why we will never report anything to your healthcare provider. Testing facilities like free clinics cannot provide the same level of privacy, speed, or accuracy as one of our facilities.
