Quick answer: You can get a private STD test near you in Fairfax, VA today – go to any of the 3 locations listed below. No appointment, no exam, no insurance. Results in 1–2 business days in your private account.
Fairfax has three of our testing locations: Main Street in Old Town Fairfax City, which opens Saturday mornings, Fairfax Towne Center by Fair Oaks Mall and I-66, and Arlington Boulevard on Route 50 near Merrifield and Inova Fairfax, which opens Saturday from 7. Around the county there are more in Burke, Annandale, Reston, McLean, Herndon, Alexandria and Arlington.
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 or take payment; 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. Your visit does not announce why you are there: our partner labs collect samples for many different kinds of testing, and to other people in the waiting room you are simply another person having a routine lab visit.
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 Fairfax, 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 Fairfax: what the numbers say
Fairfax County's rates are lower than the national average, but they are moving the wrong way: the county health district recorded a 52% rise in gonorrhea and a 70% rise in early syphilis between 2017 and 2022, with case counts climbing nearly every year, including the pandemic years when testing fell. 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. The Fairfax County Health Department tests and treats at its district offices, including the Joseph Willard Health Center in Fairfax City, and it is a real option if cost is the only barrier, but it means an appointment, weekday clinic hours, a sliding-scale fee, 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 Fairfax and a dozen more around the 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.

Questions people in Fairfax ask us
Is there free STD testing in Fairfax?
Close to it. The Fairfax County Health Department tests and treats at its district offices on a sliding scale, by appointment, and Planned Parenthood and NOVA Salud offer low-cost testing. 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 Fairfax?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Fairfax 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.

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 Fairfax lab is closest to George Mason, Fair Oaks or the Mosaic District?

Yes. Two Fairfax locations open Saturday: Main Street in Fairfax City from 8 AM to noon, and Arlington Boulevard near Merrifield from 7 to 11 AM. Fairfax Towne Center is weekdays only. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting.
Do I have to live in Fairfax County to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington counties and the District every day. If Burke, Annandale, Reston, Alexandria or Arlington is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Will my Fairfax employer, school or parents find out?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan or a security clearance 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 can I get tested for STDs near me in Fairfax?
At any of the 3 locations on this page. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive – the lab itself does not sell tests or take payment.
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.
