STD Test FAQ
What is included in the Comprehensive Recent Exposure STD Test?
This specific STD test panel is designed to screen for infections that may have occurred during a recent encounter. It tests for HIV 1 & 2 (using the 4th Generation Ag/Ab with p24 antigen for earlier detection), Syphilis (RPR with reflex to titer), Hepatitis B (Surface Antigen), and Hepatitis C (Antibody). By grouping these specific tests, the panel provides a thorough screening for the most common blood-borne and systemic infections.
What is the STD testing price for this comprehensive panel?
The current STD testing price for the Comprehensive Recent Exposure panel is $193.00. This price is all-inclusive, meaning it covers the physician’s order required for the lab, the laboratory processing fees at a Quest Diagnostics location, and the delivery of your confidential results through a secure online portal. Choosing an bundled panel is often more cost-effective than ordering each individual STD test separately.
How soon after a potential exposure can I take this STD test?
This panel is specifically curated for “recent exposure” because it includes the HIV 4th Generation test, which can detect the p24 antigen as early as 2 to 4 weeks after infection—sooner than traditional antibody-only tests. However, window periods vary for every infection; for example, Syphilis and Hepatitis can take slightly longer to show up on a test. If you test too early, it is often recommended to follow up with a second STD test after 3 months to confirm a negative result.
How does the process work for getting an STD test through Personalabs?
The process is designed for speed and privacy. After purchasing your STD test online, you will receive a lab requisition form (the doctor’s order). You can then visit any of the 4,000+ Quest Diagnostics patient service centers across the country for your blood draw. There is no need to make a separate appointment with your primary care physician, and your results are typically available in your secure Personalabs account within 2 to 10 business days.
Are my STD test results confidential?
Yes, privacy is a core component of the service. Personalabs is HIPAA-compliant, ensuring that your personal health information is protected. Your STD test results are delivered directly to your private, password-protected online account rather than being sent through the mail or left on a voicemail. This allows you to take control of your sexual health with total discretion.
Do I need a doctor’s appointment to check the STD testing price or order a kit?
No, you do not need a consultation or a prior doctor’s appointment to view the STD testing price or place an order. Personalabs provides the necessary physician’s order as part of your purchase. This removes the barrier of a traditional office visit, making it easier and faster to get the testing you need at a transparent, upfront price.
