Private STD Testing Centers

Last Updated on June 4, 2020 by Shuvani Sanyal, MD

Especially in the US, there are a lot of private STD testing centers to choose from. However, we believe you’ll be happiest with STD Check or myLAB Box because we’ve personally tried their services.

Have questions? They have trained counselors and medical practitioners standing by to answer your questions, initiate testing, and prescribe medication.

At STD Check or myLAB Box you will receive value-added service, privacy, respect, and even prescriptions – should you have a positive test result.

STD Check Testing Overview:

Lab visit – 5-15 minute walk-in, no appointment necessary
Sample required – blood and/or urine collected at the lab
Result turn-around – usually in 1-2 business days
Post-result consult – doctor call if results require explanation or treatment

Most STDs are silent. It’s very common to have an STD and not know it. Even if you are only concerned about exposure to a single STD, you may be at risk for additional infections. A comprehensive test panel is the best way to know your status. Their doctors recommend a comprehensive test for the most common STDs.

* All patient requests for STD testing are subject to review and authorization by their physicians in accordance with state laws.

Why does The STI Project recommend STD Check or myLAB Box?

Good question.

In terms of service: Not only do they have trained counselors and medical practitioners standing by to answer your questions, initiate testing, and prescribe medication – if you need it – they are endorsed by The American Sexual Health Association – one of our supporters!

Since launch, The STI Project has been networking with private STD testing centers to find what we feel to be the most reputable and most highly recommended private testing option. It took us a little over a year to narrow down our options to two providers, because we wanted to make sure we were endorsing thorough, reliable, and effective providers. Not only were they willing to spend time with us, they responded to all of our questions promptly and professionally – and as experts in the STD field, we had a boat-load of questions! That level of care and response directly transfers to a benefit for you – it takes dedicated, customer-oriented professionals like theirs to stand out in a sea of private providers.

If you do try them out, please come back and let us know what you think as well – whether positive or negative – it’s our #1 priority we make sure to continue providing vetted, trustworthy resources and recommendations always. Don’t be shy; let us know what you think via our contact form!
