Where can I get tested for STIs?
Most family planning clinics, public health departments, and hospitals offer free or low-cost testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). A private doctor can also provide STI testing. Call to make an appointment.
When you call, ask about which tests they perform, how much they cost, and whether it�s confidential, meaning they keep your testing and results secret. Most clinics test confidentially. Most clinics also provide counseling and help in notifying partners, if any tests come back positive.
