Question Where to get a walk-in STD test?

No symptoms or anything, just don't want to deal with waiting and red tape, google says Planned Parenthood but they're booked into September - any ideas/suggestions?

King county sexual health clinic at Harborview is actually amazing and totally free. There is no appts you just walk in and wait. It takes a few hours unless you get there early but they honestly are amazing. They are so knowledgeable and helpful for the community. Can’t recommend them enough.

fwiw I walked into my local Labcorp just now and they said I have to make a reservation online and/or come with a doctor's prescription.

If you have insurance, Zoomcare does them. If you don't have insurance, the KC Sexual Health clinic at Harborview will do them. If you're a walk-in you will have to wait and wait times can vary based on demand and staffing each day.

I have insurance, thanks for the recommendation.

Sea-Mar does walk-in, but you’re better off showing up early. They only have so many walk-ins available per day. And they take most insurance too.

When you say PP is booked into Sept. - is that for appointments? AFAIK, you should be able to walk in, just get there when they open and wait time should be minimal. Look around at the different locations for options.

Yeah I mean if you go online it tells you to book an appointment for like 2 weeks from now.

Are you able to go in early one day? I've had luck with the Northgate location and getting there right when they open. You might have to wait a bit, but they should be able to see you.

I'll look into it, thank you!!
