Where to go to get tested for STDs

To get an STD checkup, you can go to your doctor or you can go to one of the clinics listed below.

• STD checkups might be free - if you qualify for Family PACT Program (the green card).
• If you are 12 years of age or older, you can get an STD exam without your parents' permission.
• If you are nervous about using your health insurance for sexual health services, talk to the clinic staff about your concerns.
• Ask for a urine test - it's painless. (But it only tests for 2 STDs. So you might need a different test to check for other STDs)
• Many clinics offer drop-in services without an appointment.
• Several clinics offer evening and weekend hours.
