STI testing guide

STI testing with physician review in Virginia and West Virginia

A physician orders your panel at a Quest or Labcorp near you, the lab work is included in your visit with no separate bill from the lab, and every result comes back with a physician's review and a clear next step.

Getting tested should be simple and private, and it should never end with a scary result and no one to talk to. This visit orders a full panel (chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, and trichomonas) at a lab location you choose, counsels you on timing after a recent exposure, and guarantees that a physician personally reviews every result and guides any positive into treatment.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

If your concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends you a secure update after you sign in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Your physician

Every visit is personally reviewed by Ankur Fadia, MD. He is board-certified, has extra training in heart care (a cardiology fellowship), and is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical honor society. He is licensed in Virginia and West Virginia, and your care is never handed off to someone else.

How much does the lab testing cost?

The lab work is included in your visit, with no separate bill from the lab. The visit fee covers the physician's order, timing counseling, and the guaranteed review of every result.

What happens if something comes back positive?

You will never just get a report and silence. Chlamydia and trichomonas can usually be treated through the STI treatment visit; gonorrhea and syphilis need an in-person injection, and your review includes exactly where to go. An HIV or syphilis result always comes with an immediate phone call and a warm handoff to care, and if we cannot reach you by phone, we send an urgent secure message right away, so you're never left waiting.

How soon after an exposure should I test?

It depends on the infection: tests done too early can miss an infection that isn't detectable yet. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually detectable around 2 weeks, HIV antigen/antibody tests around 2 to 6 weeks, and syphilis around 3 to 6 weeks. Your review includes a retest plan if your exposure was recent.

What if I have symptoms right now?

Symptoms change the plan. You likely need treatment or an exam, not just a panel. The STI treatment visit handles a positive test or a diagnosed partner, and in-person care is best for pelvic pain with fever or severe symptoms.
