any suggestions for std testing services? doing a couple google searches produces these generic sites that I'm not sure are legit.  Or if anyone knows of a specific clinic near the California IE area please let me know.  Thanks

btw this is just for my own peace of mind, i have no symptoms or suspicions that i got something

Is it really free? Their web site says: "Payment is expected at time of service unless other arrangements have been previously made. Medicaid accepted. Medi-cal accepted." Although it doesn't list any prices.

Last time I was tested (2 months ago), I went to a private-pay clinic, had 8 common tests done, and it was well over $300. It would be nice to find a free or low-cost alternative, if one existed. I don't go through my primary care doctor because I've known him for 15 years and I don't want to tell him what I'm doing. I know that's dumb, but I'd rather pay a stranger to test me than admit to him that, yeah, I'm pretty much a sex addict.

This service is quite confidential and reliable, but it does cost $249 for a full panel.

Don't be scared we are only talking about taking care of yourself! xoxo

Well, any time someone admits to possibly having an STD -- we would only get tested if we thought it was possible, right? -- then I think it's a good idea to use an alias.

Not that I wouldn't LIKE it if you did school me!  

Sounds, like you need help educate yourself google is God on the net!

before you go to the free clinics check if they do a full panel of STDs, cause you might just be checked for HIV, and not other STDs, and if you get tested you might as well get a full panel. It takes two days for a reply and $230 for a full panel but you a complete peace of mind.

we wouldn't NEED to get tested unless we were engaging in risky activities, i.e., having sex with multiple partners. I don't know a lot of monogamous people who get tested for STDs every 3 months.
