Whatever brought you here, the fastest way to make the worry stop is to know. Most people who test come back negative – and the ones who don’t are treated quickly and quietly. Either way, you’ll be okay.

STDs in Gainesville: what the numbers say
Alachua County has one of the highest STD rates in Florida: 887 bacterial STD cases per 100,000 people in 2025, in the top quarter of the state's counties and well above Orange County, Palm Beach County or the state as a whole. A campus of 60,000 students is most of the reason. Most of these infections cause no symptoms at all, which is the case for a routine test when you feel fine, not just when something seems wrong.
The people hit hardest are the ones least likely to have a doctor to call, and a lot of Gainesville is 19 to 24 years old and on a parent's insurance plan they would rather not use for this. The Florida Department of Health in Alachua County tests and treats for free or a low fee, and UF's Student Health Care Center tests students, and those are real options if cost is the only barrier, but they mean an appointment or a wait, clinic hours, and a visit that goes on a medical or student health record.
That is who we built this for. No insurance, no referral, no exam, one flat price, four places to go across Gainesville, two of them open Saturday, and a result in your private account in 1–2 business days. If something comes back positive, our care team calls you and, for most infections, treatment is a short prescription.

Questions people in Gainesville ask us
Is the 6628 NW 9th Blvd location open on Saturday?
No. This location is open weekdays 6 am to 3 pm, weekdays only. If you need a Saturday, NE 12th Avenue and NW 23rd Street both open Saturday from 7 to 2; the Gainesville page lists every location. Order first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive.
What do I need to bring to 6628 NW 9th Blvd?
Nothing but yourself. Your lab order is already at the test center; you sign in at the kiosk with your first name, last name and date of birth. No ID check, no paperwork, no payment at the lab, and no insurance card, because nothing is billed to insurance. The charge on your card shows as RSC Health.
Is there free STD testing in Gainesville?
Yes. The Florida Department of Health in Alachua County tests and treats for free or a low fee at its Gainesville clinic, and UF students can use the Student Health Care Center on campus. If cost is the only thing stopping you, use them. The trade-offs are clinic hours, a wait, a visit that goes on file with the clinic, and results that can take longer. We are a paid service, and what you pay for is speed and privacy: order today, go to any of our labs without an appointment, no exam, nothing billed to insurance, and a result in your own account in 1–2 business days.
Can I get an STD test at CVS or Walgreens in Gainesville?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Gainesville do offer STD testing, but it is a clinic visit: you book, see a provider, the visit is billed to insurance or paid out of pocket at clinic prices, and the visit goes on file with the clinic. Walgreens sells at-home collection kits you mail in. With us there is no exam and no appointment; the doctor's order is included, you give the sample at a lab in about five minutes, and the charge on your card shows as RSC Health.
How much does an STD test cost in Gainesville?
One flat price that includes the doctor’s order, the lab visit and your results – no facility fees, no separate lab bill and nothing billed to insurance. Call (866) 872-1888 and a care advisor will quote it in about a minute, or see the Tests & Pricing page if you prefer to order online.
Which Gainesville lab is closest to UF, Shands or Santa Fe College?
From the University of Florida, UF Health Shands, Sorority Row or the Archer Road apartments, Southwest Archer Road is about ten minutes away. From Santa Fe College, Millhopper or Hunters Crossing, Northwest 23rd Street by North Florida hospital is closest. From Haile or Jonesville, use Northwest 9th Boulevard off Newberry Road.
Can I get tested on a Saturday in Gainesville?
Yes. Two Gainesville locations open Saturday from 7 AM to 2 PM: Northwest 23rd Street by North Florida hospital and Northeast 12th Avenue. Archer Road and Northwest 9th Boulevard are weekdays only. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting.
Will UF or my parents find out I got tested?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan statement, and nothing goes to the university. Your results are posted only to your password-protected account, the lab staff see a lab order rather than a reason, and the charge on your card reads RSC Health.
Do I have to live in Alachua County to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Marion, Columbia, Putnam and Levy counties every day. If Ocala, Lake City or Palatka is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Where is the closest place to get an STD test near me in Gainesville?
Once you’ve ordered, this location takes about 5 minutes – no appointment needed. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive; there are other Gainesville locations listed below if another one is closer.
What if I’m too embarrassed to go in?
You don’t have to explain anything at the lab. They see a lab order, take a small sample, and you leave. Nobody asks why you’re there, and to the other people in the waiting room it’s a routine lab visit – our partner labs collect samples for many kinds of testing.
How soon after exposure can I test?
It depends on the infection – some show up in days, others take a few weeks. Call us and we’ll tell you the right timing for your situation so you don’t get a false “all clear.”
What if it’s positive?
Most STDs are cured with medication, and the rest are managed with treatment that lets you live normally. Our care team calls you, explains the result in plain language, and sets up a physician consultation – a prescription, an in-person visit or a referral, depending on the infection.
Do I need an appointment or a doctor?
No. The doctor’s order is included when you order, and every location takes you without an appointment once you’ve ordered.
Will this show up on my insurance?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing goes to your insurer and nothing appears on a parent’s or spouse’s insurance statement.
How fast are results?
Most results are ready in 1–2 business days and are posted to your private online account. Results are never mailed or texted.
