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, you pay the lab directly at its posted price, and every result comes back with a physician's review and a clear next step.

Start online

Start a $49 online review for STI testing.

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.

Look for another care setting

Current symptoms — discharge, burning, sores, or pelvic or testicular pain (a treatment visit or in-person exam is the better fit)
Pelvic or lower-belly pain with fever (needs an in-person exam today)
A high-risk HIV exposure within the last 72 hours (PEP is time-critical — urgent in-person care now)
A recent sexual assault (an emergency department offers complete, confidential care and support)

What to have ready

Exposure dates, as best you can recall
Which sites were involved (this decides which swabs are ordered)
Any prior positive tests and treatments
The Quest or Labcorp location or city that works for you

How much does the lab testing cost?

You pay the lab directly at its posted direct-to-consumer price — QuickVisitMD adds no markup on testing. 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 a direct phone conversation and a warm handoff to care.

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.
