Maybe it was one night you’re not sure about. Maybe a partner said something. Maybe you just feel off and can’t stop thinking about it. 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.

If something comes back positive
You won’t be left alone with a result. A member of our care team calls you, explains what it means in plain language, and sets up a consultation with a physician. Depending on the infection, care may be a prescription sent to the pharmacy you choose, an in-person visit for an injection, or a specialist referral – the physician explains which and helps you get there.

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 file with the clinic.
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 the 3541 Randolph Rd location open on Saturday?
No. This location is open weekdays 8 am to 4 pm, weekdays only. The three Charlotte locations are weekdays only; the Charlotte page lists nearby cities with Saturday hours. Order first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive.
What do I need to bring to 3541 Randolph Rd?
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 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 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 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 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 Charlotte?

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.
Can I get tested on a Saturday in Charlotte?
The Charlotte locations are open weekdays only, and two of them close for an hour at lunch, so check the hours on each location's page. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting, and you can go in any weekday without an appointment.
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.
Where is the closest place to get an STD test near me in Charlotte?
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 Charlotte 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.
