When Should I Get Tested for STDs?

Routine screening is one of the best ways to stay on top of your sexual health, even when you feel fine. Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) cause no symptoms, so testing is often the only way to know your status. You may also want to get tested after unprotected sex, when starting a relationship with a new partner, or if a partner lets you know about a possible exposure. The CDC publishes screening recommendations that can help you and a health care provider decide how often to test.

What Will Be Tested in an STD Panel?

You can ask for individual tests or a panel. A clinician can help match the panel to your symptoms, partners, and any recent exposure.

A routine STD panel may include:
– Chlamydia
– Gonorrhea
– HIV 1 and 2
– Syphilis

A full-panel STD test may also include:
– Herpes (oral, genital)
– Hepatitis (A, B, C)

How Much Will STD Testing Cost in Green Bay, WI?

STD testing in Green Bay can cost anywhere from free at some community clinics to about $200 at private labs, depending on the tests you need. Most insurance plans cover preventive STD screening at 100% with no copay.

Community clinics, including Planned Parenthood and Vivent Health, may offer sliding-scale or free testing for qualifying patients. Private lab pricing often ranges from about $50 to $200 per test or panel. At-home STD tests typically cost $35 to $175 per kit.

How Fast Will I Get My Test Results in Green Bay, WI?

Most STD test results in Green Bay are ready within the same day to three business days, depending on the test. According to the CDC information on HIV testing, some rapid HIV tests can provide results in about 30 minutes.

Lab-based tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis usually take one to three business days after the lab receives your sample. At-home test kits usually return results within two to five business days after the lab processes your sample.

Ask the clinic or lab how results are shared before your visit. Many locations use a patient portal, phone call, secure message, or follow-up appointment.
