Is an STD Test free?

To answer this briefly: in most cases, unfortunately, an STD test is not free. There are exceptions, and the prices can differ in the different places where you take a test. In this blog, we will list all the prices so you can make the right choice. What's right for you?

How much money does an STI test at the doctor's office cost?

A consultation with the family doctor is free (i.e. the conversation) but for the STI test you have to pay. In most cases this goes through the deductible. So you don't notice it at the moment, but afterwards you will pay for it through your deductible to the health insurance company. This can even be more expensive than if you do it through OneDayClinic, for example. If you are otherwise healthy, and do not make another claim on your deductible in a year, you will still be cheaper through a private clinic. You can also do a home test. An additional advantage is that you know in advance exactly what you will pay, because we have a transparent price list (see above). So you will not be surprised afterwards when the bill arrives.

Cost complete STD Test

De kosten van een complete soa-test bij de huisarts kunnen variëren van 150-400 euro. Dit hangt af van de samenwerking van de huisarts en het laboratorium. Het ene lab vraagt hogere prijzen voor een HIV test dan bijvoorbeeld een ander lab. Uitslag is er vaak binnen 1 week. Tot slot is het bij de huisarts, niet anoniem, een aantekening wordt altijd in je medisch dossier gemaakt en ook je zorgverzekeraar wordt zo op de hoogte gesteld.

Voor behandeling via de huisarts, ben je soms ook nog een week kwijt, zeker bij een positieve Gonorroe test. Omdat de behandeling via een injectie gaat, moet je daarvoor weer een nieuwe afspraak maken bij de huisarts, nadat je zelf de medicijnen hebt opgehaald bij de apotheek. Veel gedoe dus…

How much money does an STD test at the GGD cost?

At the GGD, an STI test is free of charge, but unfortunately not everyone is eligible to make an appointment here. You must fall into a so-called "risk group. The risk groups for the GGD are as follows: Men who have sex with men (MSM).

• Sex Workers
• Young people under theage of 25
• People who come from a country where STIs are more commonand their sex partner
• People with many different sex partners

Because GGD' s are enormously busy at the moment, a major disadvantage is that you can often only go here after several weeks. Also, the exact rules about risk groups vary from region to region. Some regions are so busy that they have appointed different rules for themselves. For example, free testing until 22 instead of 25. So check this out for the GGD in your area. Once you have taken a test at the GGD, you can usually expect the results within a week.
