PSA: STD testing

[badseed1980]

I figured it might be of use to some people I know that Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts is doing STD testing (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV) for $30 throughout April, with walk-in hours. Here is a link for details.

It's not a full panel of tests, obviously, but it's a damn sight better than nothing, and it's cheap!

Mass General still does free testing of a decent range of tests, last I heard.

Probably. I think I'm willing to pay the $30 to avoid having to wait as long as I'd likely have to wait there, though.

I used to go there regularly, don't recall ever waiting particularly long. Of course we used to pick times that were their quieter times but that's just sensible.

Yeah, I imagine those are the times that would require me taking time off work to go there. :)

Well, I didn't take any time off work to do it... don't remember when, though, since it's been over 4 years since I left Boston.

That's very cool

I'm fortunate enough to have a regular doc to do such things, but a good link to post - thanks!
