My partner and I would like to be safe before having sex in the near future, so we both agreed to get tested for STDs. If I go to planned parenthood, how much will it cost? How do they do the testing (by blood, salavia, etc)? Do they test for all STDs out there or do you have to ask to get tested for a specific STD?
To be honest the best thing to do is call the place where you want to get yourself tested and ask them how much it will cost - as it may vary place to place. As for what is involved, what they do the testing for and such - this is also best discussed with them on the phone.
The reason I say to do this over the telephone is because that way you can find out all the details you want before having to go there although I can say if you have only ever done oral you may not have all that much to be afraid of.
If I can I will try and find out more information for you from a few friends who have been to these facilities before but as I said - they may vary from area to area so it may just be a matter of you contacting where you will be going to talk to them about all the details.
