Whenever patients need to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), it helps to have a local provider to quickly help out. Patients near East Hanover, NJ are in luck. AFC Urgent Care East Hanover offers walk-in clinic access for STD testing!

Most patients can simply visit our walk-in clinic to get started with STD testing and have their results immediately. However, some patients may not fully understand the benefits of using a walk-in clinic for STD testing as well as what they may need for their visit. Below, we’ll go over some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about STD testing at a local urgent care center or walk-in clinic:

How does STD testing work at a walk-in clinic?

Patients just simply have to come into the clinic whenever their schedule is open! At AFC Urgent Care East Hanover, patients can access STD testing without the need for an appointment. Just walk to our lobby and front desk to get started.

When it is your turn to get tested, a board-certified provider will coordinate your test and perform all the necessary health checks, screening procedures, and perform the STD testing panel to identify a number of common STDs including herpes, gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, syphilis, and more.

After your STD test is complete you can then review the results with your provider and find the appropriate steps for treatment or care if needed.

What do I need to bring for my STD test at a walk-in clinic?

Patients just need to provide a basic review of their recent sexual activity and any other health conditions they may have. A patient is not required to bring in extensive health records or other materials to get started with testing.

With payment, patients just need their basic insurance information to receive payment for STD testing. Before visiting any clinic for STD testing it helps to see if the provider/clinic is in your health insurance’s network. Thankfully, STD testing is covered by most insurances at urgent care centers including AFC Urgent Care East Hanover. But it is always important to check with your health insurance administrator and your insurance benefits.
