Convenient STI testing procedure
- Go to the patient portal
- Log in by entering your net ID and password.
- On the left hand side, click on “Messages”, then click on “New Message.”
- Select “I want STI testing.”
- Complete and submit questionnaire.
A nurse will review your questionnaire within one business day and contact you via secure email regarding your STI testing orders.
If you have any symptoms you think is related to an STI, or known contact with a partner recently diagnosed with an STI, please make an individual appointment.
- If you are instructed to fast before your test do not eat for 12 hours.
