Why Should Columbus Residents Get Tested?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention¹, Ohio ranked 13th out of 50 in number of HIV cases in 2015 and is seeing staggering numbers related to syphilis and gonorrhea as well. The City of Columbus² reports that Franklin County saw a 109% increase in syphilis rates from 2013 to 2017 with rates three times higher than the state’s average and twice the national average. The report highlights that the cases are especially common in men (as compared to women) and African Americans (as opposed to whites). With statistics like these and rates on the rise, we strongly advise all sexually active adults get tested when appropriate.

How Much Will It Cost?

The cost of sexual health testing depends on the type and/or number of tests you’re wishing to have conducted. Our individual tests (chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes I/II, HIV 1 and 2, syphilis, and trichomoniasis) run between $49 and $109 each. We also offer a twin panel test including a chlamydia test and gonorrhea test which costs $129 (a savings of $49) as well as an all-in-one ten-panel test which costs $198 (a savings of $405). For a complete list of test options, visit our “Tests & Pricing” page.

We Are Better Than A “Free Clinic”
