If you’re sexually active, it’s important to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) on a regular basis. STDs can have serious health consequences if left untreated, and can even be fatal in some cases. However, not all STD clinics are created equal. Here’s what you need to know to choose the right one for your needs.

STD testing can be expensive, but it’s important not to let cost be a barrier to getting the care you need. Look for a clinic that offers affordable testing and accepts your insurance. At Nao Medical, we offer STD testing at a fraction of the cost of other clinics, and accept most major insurance plans.
Location, Location, Location
When it comes to STD testing, convenience is key. Look for a clinic that is located near your home or workplace, and has convenient hours that fit your schedule. Nao Medical has multiple locations throughout NYC, and offers extended hours to make it easy for you to get the care you need.
