When you take an OTC STD test you can simply order a testing kit online, collect a sample using the easy to follow instructions, and send it off to the lab. It only takes a few minutes. No more waiting rooms, awkward conversations or uncomfortable inspections of your private areas. 

You’ll find your lab-certified results online, which makes it easier to share your status with your partner. You can also get a free phone consultation with a physician the same day you get your results. 

There are a variety of options for over the counter STD testing. If you are aware of your symptoms and have a pretty good idea of what infection you may have, you can order a test for that specific infection.

Spring is in the air. For many people, that can mean more incentive to ‘get busy’. If you’re planning on being sexually active, you should consider keeping a couple of these kits on hand to give you peace of mind during periods of increased sexual activity.

So how much is STD testing with insurance?  Often, these companies will cover your first STD test. However, subsequent tests will often be charged at full out-of-pocket pricing.
