HIV/STI testing

Hi everyone,

Though I haven't been with many partners, only 2, one male one female. The female is my wife, so no worries there. The male was someone I met several times and we performed oral on each other. Though I believe him when he told me he was clean and safe and there were signs he hadn't been with anyone for a long time, I was still thinking I wanted to be tested for "everything". The problem is, I don't want to go to my PCP and ask him, since my wife also sees him.

Is there anyplace antonymous that I can have the blood test done that will keep me anonymous? I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Thank you!!

You can pay for lab tests. I have used private labs md. They will send you an authorization to go to a regular lab. You do not need to fill out any paperwork at the lab. You pay the online private labs md

They will provide the full results via email.

You still have to have an order from your doctor though, right? I usually use Quest, but have never tried to go there w/o an order. Secondly, I would think it would be cost prohibitive to do it without having insurance pay for it.

no you can order on their website, but yes you have to pay for each test. It is not covered by insurance, but is more anonymous and you can walk into a lab facility.
