Waiting for an STD test can be stressful. Getting the test itself should not be.
Whether you are testing after a possible exposure, before beginning a new relationship, as part of routine sexual-health screening, or simply because you want clarity, the goal is the same: private access to reliable testing without unnecessary judgment or uncertainty.
Avendano Health offers confidential drug and STD testing in Boca Raton with multiple testing options, transparent cash-pay pricing, secure result delivery, and local lab appointments available Monday through Friday.
The current STD menu includes an Essential STD Screen beginning at $172 and broader panels for patients who want additional testing.
Why Get Tested Even If You Feel Fine?
Many sexually transmitted infections can occur without obvious symptoms.
That means feeling healthy does not necessarily tell you whether testing is appropriate.
The CDC recommends testing based on factors such as age, sexual history, pregnancy, type of sexual contact, partners and individual risk.
Testing is therefore not only something to consider after symptoms appear. It can also be part of routine preventive sexual healthcare.
What STD Tests Are Available?
Our Drug & STD Testing service currently offers multiple panel options.
The Essential STD Screen includes HIV 1/2 antigen/antibody testing, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.
The Complete STD Screen expands testing to include HSV-1 and HSV-2.
A broader Comprehensive STD Screen includes additional hepatitis testing.
Exact inclusions and current pricing should always be reviewed on the service page before ordering.
Different infections can require different specimen types. Depending on the test and exposure, STI testing may involve blood, urine or swab specimens.
The CDC also notes that people who have had oral or anal sexual contact should discuss whether throat or rectal testing is appropriate.
Want to see exactly what is included before you book?
Before scheduling, review our current STD testing panels and pricing to compare the infections included in each option and choose the testing pathway that best matches your needs.
How Fast Are STD Test Results?
The current service page lists approximately 24–48 hours for STD laboratory results.
Turnaround can vary depending on the specific tests included and specimen processing.
That is different from Avendano's rapid 10-panel drug screen, which is listed separately with results in approximately 15 minutes.
Keeping those two services distinct is important: "rapid drug testing" should not be interpreted to mean every STD test produces an immediate result.
If you are looking specifically for employment, personal, or other drug screening rather than STI testing, the same Drug & STD Testing service page also lists Avendano Health's available drug-testing options.
What If My Test Is Positive?
A positive screening result is not something you should have to interpret alone.
The appropriate next step depends on the infection, the specific test performed and whether confirmatory testing is necessary.
A healthcare professional can explain the result, discuss treatment when appropriate and advise you about partner notification, retesting or additional testing.
If you develop severe symptoms or believe you need urgent medical attention, seek appropriate clinical care rather than waiting for routine laboratory testing.
Private STD Testing Without Insurance
For some patients, using insurance for sexual-health testing adds another layer of concern.
Our STD testing pathway is cash-pay, and the service page displays the available panels and pricing before you order.
Avendano describes the service as confidential, HIPAA-compliant and available without insurance.
This gives patients a straightforward route to testing without requiring insurance billing as the starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have an STI without symptoms?
Yes. Many STIs can be asymptomatic, which is one reason screening recommendations are based on risk and sexual history as well as symptoms.
How do I know which STD panel I need?
The right tests depend on your exposure, sexual practices, symptoms and health history. Review the available panel contents, and consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure which infections should be tested.
How quickly are results available?
The current STD service lists results in approximately 24–48 hours, although exact turnaround depends on the tests performed.
Can I get tested without insurance?
Yes. Avendano's STD testing is offered through a cash-pay pathway without insurance being required.
