GetSTDtested.com sets itself apart from other online STD testing providers in a number of ways:
At-home STD testing option: Customers interested in testing for gonorrhea, Chlamydia, trichomoniasis or HIV can choose to order at-home tests, administer them in complete privacy, and mail in the results without ever setting foot in a clinic.
More than 4,000 clinic locations: Those who prefer to have someone else perform tests, or who want to test for other STDs, can choose from more than 4,000 clinics available around the country, meaning that getSTDtested.com customers can get tested in a convenient location. Plus, the clinics test for a number of conditions, meaning that nobody needs to know why a customer is visiting.
Same-day testing: GetSTDtested.com’s clinics do not require appointments. Customers can walk in as soon as they’ve signed up for tests online. Wait time in these clinics rarely exceeds 20 minutes.
Confidentiality: Because getSTDtested.com offers a number of payment options (including cash), customers can purchase tests with complete privacy. GetSTDtested.com shares results via a secure online portal with customers, and never reports them to insurance companies.
STD counselors: All getSTDtested.com customers have the opportunity to speak with a certified STD counselor who can help explain test results and treatment options.
Online treatment: For certain STDs diagnoses, getSTDtested.com customers can order prescription treatments from the site’s in-house physicians.
A New Day for STD Testing
The dark ages of STD testing are over. The Internet allows STD testing providers to consolidate testing and treatment resources and make them accessible to people around the country. As part of its mission to remove the stigma often associated with STDs, getSTDtested.com hosts forums where users can ask questions about STDs and other matters of sexual health.
The site also maintains a blog and posts dozens of articles about STD symptoms, general STD information, STD treatment and more.
About
While free STD testing clinics provide a necessary service to many Americans, that service is not always convenient or efficient. In fact, it often takes weeks or months to get an appointment at a free STD testing clinic – that’s a long time to wait when you’re concerned about a symptom or eager to start treatment.
