Do I need insurance to be treated?

No. No insurance and no appointment are required. Walk in Monday to Friday.

What if my result comes back negative but I still have symptoms?

Then the physician looks further. A negative panel with real symptoms is a clinical question, not a closed case — see the limits of a negative result.

Can you treat my partner too?

Your partner can be tested and, if indicated, treated here. Expedited partner therapy is a conversation to have with the physician.

Is this cheaper than urgent care?

Typically, save up to 40% compared to urgent care, and dramatically less than an ER visit. We do not post prices; text us for your situation.

Same-Day STD Treatment: Can You Be Treated the Day You Test?

Molecular fluorescence imaging — Auspicious Laboratory, Houston

Result at 4:30 PM. Partner-network physician 4:30–6:00 PM. Same day, not next month.CLIA #45D2048957 · CAP #8722734 · Same-day results · Walk-ins welcome

Yes. Most labs hand you a result and leave you to find someone who will act on it — that gap is where treatment gets lost. At Auspicious Laboratory the physician is a few minutes away. Sample by 1:00 PM, result at 4:30 PM, and if treatment is clinically appropriate you return between 4:30 and 6:00 PM and are seen the same evening. Two stops, one day.

Why the gap between "result" and "treatment" is the real problem

CDC guidelines exist and are not controversial. The failure is logistical: the result arrives days later, the patient has moved on, the partner is untreated, and the infection keeps circulating. Compressing result and treatment into one afternoon removes the drop-off point entirely.

The value of a same-day molecular result is not speed for its own sake. It is that the person who needs treatment is still in front of a physician when the result arrives.

What the physician actually decides

Treatment follows the CDC STI Treatment Guidelines, and the choice depends on the organism, your symptoms, your history, your allergies and whether you may be pregnant. Doxycycline, azithromycin and ceftriaxone all appear in those guidelines for different organisms — which one applies to you is a clinical decision, made by a licensed physician who has your result in hand.

We publish drug names, never doses. Dosing is not a web-page decision. Every recommendation on this site is attributed to CDC, IDSA or another guideline body, and every path ends the same way: see a licensed physician.

Partners

Treating you and not your partner produces a reinfection, usually within weeks. CDC supports expedited partner therapy in many situations — bring it up during your visit. See what to do when a partner tests positive.

Same day, start to finish. Sample by 1:00 PM → results at 4:30 PM → if treatment is clinically appropriate, a licensed physician in our partner network sees you between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, a few minutes away. That window is reserved for patients tested here, and your slot is held the moment we take your sample — the slot is held, not hunted. On your own, a same-day appointment is nearly impossible; at an urgent care, you wait in the queue. STAT: ~2 hours, sample in by 3:00 PM.
