STI checks

Hey Davis Squarians! I am asking this for a friend (but also for myself, because it's useful information that I didn't see in the archives).

Where do you go around here for free/cheap STI testing? Fast turn-around is a definite plus, as is thoroughness of testing. Friend has MassHealth, if there's anywhere that definitely takes that for cheap screenings.

Thanks!

These folks were free for those who didn't have health insurance, back in the day, I can't imagine they're much pricier now for those who do have it: https://access.fenwayhealth.org/portal/contact-us/default.aspx

Also seconding the PPLM branch in Davis as being conveniently located and reasonably friendly.

Back in the day, Fenway never did free STI screens for people w/o insurance, only free HIV testing. Has that ever changed?

If you have MassHealth, STI testing at Fenway is free as long as the order has been sent by the practicioner you saw (like most places you have to schedule an appointment to be seen, not just walk in).
