Either way, you’ll be okay.

STDs in Charlotte: what the numbers say
Mecklenburg County reports more than 15,000 chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases a year, with a chlamydia rate nearly double the national figure, and the county's own data shows people aged 13 to 24 account for close to half of them. 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 North Carolina only expanded Medicaid at the end of 2023, so a large share of working adults in Charlotte still have no coverage. Mecklenburg County Public Health tests and treats at its sexual health clinic for low or no cost, and it is a real option if cost is the only barrier, but it means clinic hours, a wait, and a visit that goes on a medical record.
That is who we built this for. No insurance, no referral, no exam, one flat price, three places to go across Charlotte, 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 Charlotte ask us

Is there free STD testing in Charlotte?
Yes. Mecklenburg County Public Health's sexual health clinic tests and treats for free or a low fee, and several nonprofits offer free HIV and syphilis testing around the city. If cost is the only thing stopping you, use them. The trade-offs are clinic hours, a wait, a visit that goes on a medical record, 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 Charlotte?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Charlotte 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 it goes on your medical record. Walgreens sells at-home collection kits you mail in.

Which Charlotte lab is closest to Uptown or UNC Charlotte?
The Randolph Road location at Novant Presbyterian in Elizabeth is about five minutes from Uptown and the closest to Plaza Midwood, NoDa and the UNC Charlotte side of town. From SouthPark or Myers Park, the Cotswold location is closer; from Ballantyne, Pineville or Matthews, Carmel Commons.

Do I have to live in Mecklenburg County to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell and York County, South Carolina every day. There is no residency requirement and no insurance check; the only thing you need is your order, placed under your own name and date of birth.
Will my Charlotte employer, school or parents find out?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan or a student health plan statement, and we never mail anything. 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.

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 there knows what you’re being tested for, and nobody calls you by your reason for being there.
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.”
