Oversight Dx STI Panel™

We’re all adults here but let’s face it, STD testing isn’t exactly fun, no matter how comfortable you are with talking about your sex life and sexual health. Anyone who's sexually active should engage in regular STD testing, and we're excited to make testing easier and more discreet than ever before.

You can test for sexually transmitted infections, or STIs (which can progress to sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs) with an at-home lab test or at a clinic. For at-home lab testing with Everlywell, you collect a sample yourself and send it to a lab—and get your results online. This confidential testing makes it easy to get tested for STIs where you want and when you want. The type of sample you collect depends on what STIs you’re testing for. Samples can include urine, blood (collected with an easy finger prick), or genital swabs. If you go to a clinic for STI testing services, a healthcare provider may draw blood from your arm, collect a swab, or ask for a urine sample. How you receive your results depends on the clinic you use for testing services.

The frequency of necessary testing really varies based on how sexually active you are and if you’re currently outside of a monogamous relationship. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends every 3-12 months depending on risk category, but most medical professionals would agree that a yearly STD test is the minimum responsible frequency and testing should be done more if -- and when -- you engage in unprotected sex with a new partner. Preventing the spread of STIs and STDs is everybody’s responsibility and knowing your status is a great way to do your part while also keeping yourself and your partner(s) healthy.

Our STD Test suite is taken in the privacy of your own home, and the test covers many common sexually transmitted diseases including:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
• Syphilis
• Trichomoniasis

This Everlywell at-home STD Test requires two samples—blood spot and urine. All necessary components are included inside the kit. We provide easy-to-read instructions, as well as helpful digital videos on the process, and the collection process is quick. Simply follow a few steps and return your sample to our lab for processing.

There are a variety of ways to test for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. You can make an appointment with your healthcare provider, go to an STD clinic, or use an at-home lab test.Our at-home STD test gives you an accurate, confidential STD check that can help you discover if your symptoms may be the result of sexually transmitted infections—allowing you to get the right treatment as soon as possible.

Sexually transmitted infections can harm your health, especially if they aren’t detected early. In people with penises, STIs can cause infertility—as well body aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, or other flu-like symptoms; a burning sensation of pain during urination; abnormal genital discharges; pelvic inflammatory disease; and more. In people with vaginas, STIs can lead to complications like cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. If you have multiple sex partners, engage in unprotected sex, or have any other STD risk factors, regular screening with at-home STI testing may help prevent health complications associated with untreated sexually transmitted infections.
