We understand this can be stressful. This tool helps you determine which tests you need, when to take them, and what to expect -- all based on your specific situation.
Each STD has a different "window period" -- the time between exposure and when a test can reliably detect an infection. Use the date picker below to see what is testable for you right now.
| STD / Test | Earliest Reliable Test | Recommended Window | Retest if Negative | Test of Cure (if Positive) |

Answer a few questions and we will create a personalized testing plan for you. Your answers stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
This helps us determine which tests can provide reliable results right now.
Or choose a general timeframe:
Select all that apply. Different exposures carry different risk levels.
Symptoms can help guide testing priorities. Select all that apply.
Your testing history helps us tailor recommendations.
This helps us recommend the right scope of testing.
Whether your initial results were negative or positive, follow-up testing helps ensure accuracy and confirms treatment success.
A negative result during the early window period does not always mean you are in the clear. Retesting after the full window period has passed gives you definitive peace of mind.
If you tested positive and completed treatment, a "test of cure" confirms the infection has been cleared. This is a critical step in protecting your health and your partners.
Herpes (HSV-1/HSV-2): Once positive, IgG antibodies remain. Retesting for herpes is generally not applicable.
We designed every step of our process to protect your privacy and give you control over your health information.
Your results are not shared with your insurance company or employer. We operate on a cash-pay model specifically to protect your privacy.
You can use a preferred name for your order. We respect your identity and your right to manage how your information appears.
Results are delivered through our secure portal or directly from the CLIA-certified laboratory. No results are mailed to your home unless you request it.
Your information is kept strictly confidential. However, please be aware that certain STDs (such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) may require reporting to public health departments as mandated by law. This is standard across all testing providers.
