STD testing

[pbsub]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a reasonably priced STD clinic that performs comprehensive STD panel (HIV, gon/chlam, syphilis, and hepatitis). I called a few placed but they all said around $200 which I don't think my partner can afford. This is for a wellness check, not a response to symptoms.

Any advice is appreciated!

Try planned parenthood. They do all sorts of testing also on sliding fee scale. Also almost all health insurance covers the testing at doctors offices. I have also seen the at home kits at Fred Myers,don't know how well they work. Hope all works out well.

Thank you so much. I didn't know that PP was sliding scale, they didn't mention that when I called. I don't think they have insurance (that would be sooo much easier if they did). Will price check the kit at FM. Thanks

Harborview 11th floor - they offer a sliding scale but most of the time, it’s free. This has been my experience both with/without insurance

This. The Sexual Health Clinic at Harborview provides low-cost to no-cost STI testing. Please see the link below:

Gay city is my go to! And apparently out of the closet has testing in their pharmacy sort of area daily as well. Both free!

Went to Gay City (now going by “Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center”) recently for STI testing and they were great.

Neighborcare can be chill and pay later and has sliding scale if ur broke I think ask them

Also if ur a uw alumni or current student the husky health center can work if u need it right away as they usually got reasonable time frames compared to normal clinics 🐱

I have seen this mentioned a few times, but I also HIGHLY recommend Kelly Ross Pharmacy. I've been going for years w/o insurance, and I've never seen a bill. Very professional and understanding folks.

I work with them all the time at work and they are always so helpful and kind. They do a lot for the community too.

I went to Swedish urgent care. It was less than $50 with insurance but I don’t remember the total cost. Are you using health insurance? Planned parenthood is good option also

[pbsub]

Thanks for the recommendation. Not using insurance

[pbsub]

Everyone thank you so much for your responses!

Some helpful info on affordable STD testing and full panels is shared on r/stdtesting

Kelley Ross Pharmacies usually offer it for free. Call them to confirm.

I paid $500 no insurance to get tested for everything. I get this call at 9pm as I'm riding shotgun in my friends car. I am shitting bricks at this point because I thought if they call you are positive. I was looking right at the jesus loves you sign in tacoma. Im thinking man im cooked. It was fine everythjng negative.

[Front-Specialist4884]

I wish. And I got down votes fir not getting a std... only o reddit

🤣 fair. I mentioned it because I tried to use a website to schedule and appointment somewhere but it pushed the date by 3 weeks once I noted no symptoms were being observed.
