STD Testing Clinic at AFC Watertown

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can affect anyone and we at AFC Urgent Care believe that there is neither shame nor stigma in getting medical help when you need it the most. Because of this philosophy we operate a judgement-free walk-in clinic with for STD testing and treatment. With our on site testing lab, we can provide our patients with their results faster than most urgent care centers and physicians’ offices. We also welcome patients who cannot get an early appointment at their primary care physician as well those that do not have a family doctor and are in need of confidential, discreet and affordable STD Testing Services in and around Watertown, Newton, Brookline, Cambridge, Brighton, Allston, Belmont and Waltham near Boston.

We also know from experience there is no bad day or time to get tested and the outcomes of testing are often not as bad as people imagine. Testing positive can often lead to the early detection of very easily treatable conditions and testing negative eliminates anxiety and stress caused by worrying about one’s health. This anxiety, in fact, can often be more debilitating than the underlying concern. In every case ignoring your health is certainly never a good option and getting tested/treatment is the right choice to make.

Our clinic operates on a walk-in basis and you can simply come in any time we are open without a prior appointment. You’ll be able to discuss your healthcare concerns confidentially, and without any judgment, with one of our board-certified physicians. STDs can be a difficult topic for our patients to discuss and we have tried to answer the most common questions below. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to call our Watertown clinic at 617-923-2273. We care about your health and promise to make the call easy in every possible way.

What are the symptoms of the most common STDs? Which STD tests will I need?

Symptoms can vary from one patient to the other and at times there could be no symptoms at all. Instead of searching online for symptoms and causing additional stress and anxiety, we recommend that you consult one of our board certified physicians to discuss your symptoms (if any). One of our doctors with many years of experience will recommend the most appropriate tests to make an accurate diagnosis.

Even if you do not have symptoms you can discuss your case in confidence (remember we care about your health and well-being more than anything else) and our physicians, who are trained medical professionals, will recommend the appropriate tests to put your mind at ease.

Will my Insurance Plan Cover STD Testing?

Yes, your insurance plan will cover STD testing and treatment (if you have an underlying illness or symptoms). We accept most insurance plans offered in Massachusetts.

What if I don’t have insurance? How much will my visit and STD testing cost?
