What If There Isn’t an STD Testing Clinic Near Me

What To Do If There Isn’t an STD Testing Clinic Near Me

What If There Isn’t an STD Testing Clinic Near Me? Try at home STD testing for fast, lab certified & confidential STD testing in the convenience of your home.

When taking control of their sexual health, many Americans ask themselves: “Is there an STD testing clinic near me?” This is a great inquiry, and a sign that they are taking all the necessary steps to keep themselves (and their partners) healthy.

Traditionally, these people would need to go to a clinic, or to a doctor’s office in order to screen for sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

Sure, you can make an appointment and be on your way to a clean bill of sexual health – now all you’ll need to do is:

  •      take time off from work
  •      drive to the clinic
  •      sit in the waiting room for what seems like an eternity
  •      talk with the doctor about the intimate details of your sexual history
  •      set a follow-up visit to get your results and / or treatment

This older “in-person” screening model is still the default way that many people choose. For many of us, this leads to other important questions:

  • “What if there isn’t an STD testing clinic near me?”
  • “I can’t get time off work to visit a clinic, what now?”
  • “What if I’m too shy to face the waiting room?”
  • “What if I am physically unable to get to a clinic?”

That’s where at home STI testing comes into the picture!  There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to a clinic or doctor, but as science and technologies progress, so have our testing options.

No STD Testing Clinic Near Me? What Now?

It’s easy to see the benefits of in-person testing. You sit down with a medical professional or doctor, who can allay your fears on the spot. For many people, this is a tried-and-true solution.

There are a great many clinics around the United States. That said, depending on where you are located and your access to transportation, that tricky “Is there an STD testing clinic near me?” question can have a very different answer for some people.

Getting to the clinic can be difficult. Due to a disability or lack of transportation, some of us don’t have the means to travel to the testing area.  Others simply cannot afford to take time off from work to visit the clinic. An in-person testing center across town might as well be as far as the moon for these people.
