STD & STI Testing locations

You can get STD testing at a variety of local clinics where they offer appointments and walk-in services. You can also find a Quest Diagnostics location in Baytown.

You can test for sexually transmitted infections, or STIs (which can progress to sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs) with an at-home lab test or at a lab testing location. If you visit a Quest lab, you can get an expansive STI test that tests for 4 common STIs in one panel. 

Whether you opt for at-home collection or in-person testing, the type of sample you collect depends on what STIs you’re testing for. Samples can include urine, blood, or genital swabs. If you go to a lab for STI testing services, a healthcare provider may draw blood from your arm, versus the finger pricks that are common for at-home lab testing. Both collection locations usually also require a urine or swab sample, which may be self-collected or clinician-collected.

After purchase, you will be logged in to your MyEverly dashboard to see the lab order status. Once the lab order is processed by the physician network, typically in about 2 hours, you will receive an email with instructions to schedule your appointment at or walk in to any Quest® Diagnostics near you.

Not all sexually transmitted infections result in symptoms, so it’s important to screen regularly. That being said, STIs often do result in symptoms. These symptoms can include:

• Vaginal discharges or penile that may have an unusual odor or color

• Genital warts (small bumps on the genital area or inside the vagina)—typically caused by genital herpes or an HPV infection

• Other sores in and around the genital area

• Flu-like symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches, or fevers

• Pain or burning sensations while urinating or during sex

• Spotting between periods (in those who have menstrual cycles)

This STI screening test will accurately tell you whether you have chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, or syphilis. There are over 2200 Patient Service Center locations nationwide, allowing you to select one located near you. 

Once your sample is processed, you’ll be notified via email that your results are ready. You will receive your results through an easy-to-understand report on our secure online platform. In the event that you have any abnormal results, which do not always mean that you are positive for an STI, a representative from our independent physician network will reach out to you, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions about your particular case. For some tests, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, you may also be offered a prescription if deemed necessary, at no extra cost to you. 

Results are not only easy to understand, but Everlywell also offers suggestions on any next steps you may need to take in your particular case.

This STI lab test checks whether or not you test positive for a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. In the event that your test results are positive or abnormal, you will have the opportunity to connect with a board-certified physician in your state at no additional cost to discuss your particular case and prescribe medication where applicable.

In rare cases, you may not receive a definitive result because of short post-exposure time or inadequate sampling. These results do not mean that your results are going to be abnormal, it just means that the testing was unable to provide a clear answer at this time, and repeat testing is suggested.

Yes, this lab test lets you check for chlamydia and gonorrhea—as well as HIV and syphilis.

Though these terms are often used interchangeably, they don’t actually mean exactly the same thing. STD – or “sexually transmitted disease" – is a common term used to describe an infection that is passed on through sexual contact, and becomes a disease after a certain point of severity. STI stands for “sexually transmitted infection.” Many people, mostly within the medical community, have begun transitioning from “STD” to “STI” in an effort to clarify that not all sexually transmitted infections turn into a disease.

You can test for sexually transmitted infections, or STIs (which can progress to sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs) with an at-home lab test or at a lab.
