Getting tested here is not a clinic visit. You order first, online or by phone, your lab order reaches the test center in 2–3 minutes, and you go in when it suits you. The lab does not sell tests, take payment or ask why you are there; you sign in at the kiosk with your name and date of birth, give a small blood or urine sample, and you are back in the car in about five minutes.
If you’re worried, you’re already halfway to feeling better.
Most people put off getting tested because they’re scared of the answer, embarrassed to ask, or don’t know where to go without it turning into a whole ordeal. In Pittsburgh, it doesn’t have to be. You pick a location below, go in when it suits you, and have a clear answer in a day or two – privately.

STDs in Pittsburgh: what the numbers say
Allegheny County reports close to 7,900 new chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases a year, about 22 a day, with a gonorrhea rate well above the national figure. 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 in a city with one of the largest student populations per capita in the country, the other worry is the explanation-of-benefits letter that lands at a parent's house. The Allegheny County Health Department's sexual health clinic tests and treats for free or a low fee, 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, eleven places to go across Pittsburgh, six of them open Saturday and fifteen more around Allegheny County, 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.

Is there free STD testing in Pittsburgh?
Yes. The Allegheny County Health Department's sexual health clinic tests and treats for free or a low fee, and Planned Parenthood's downtown health center and Allies for Health + Wellbeing offer free or sliding-scale testing. 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 Pittsburgh?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Pittsburgh 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. 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.

From the North Hills, McKnight Road is open until 5 and on Saturday; from the South Hills, Brownsville Road in Brentwood opens Saturday too.

Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting.
Do I have to live in Allegheny County to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Butler, Westmoreland, Washington and Beaver counties every day. If Monroeville, Bethel Park, West Mifflin, Wexford or Mt. Lebanon is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Will my Pittsburgh employer, school or parents find out?

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.”
