Plenty of places like county health departments or planned parenthood provide some testing for free. Yes, insurance will usually cover part, if not all of it. Decide where you want to be tested, then call and ask them.

Insurance covers it. Just go to your doc and tell them what you want done and all you pay is your usual copay of like 15 or 20 bux. I just had it done.

Dear concerned: HIVtest.org offers free screening for stds in the us. It is confidential. It includes hiv testing. You should know that the standard STD testing does not include herpes testing or hepatitis testing. You must go to a doctor for that kind of testing and you may have to pay depending on your insurance. You should actually bring your partners to get tested before you engage in any kind of sex. The last thing you want is get infected by something you don't want. Best wishes

Some insurances do cover the testing, but some places do the testing for free or very low cost, based on the person's income. Check the website hivtest.org to find free testing sites in your area. Just enter your ZIP code. Although testing for some STDs can be done through blood testing, testing for some STDs requires genital swabs.
