How much does an STD test cost?

GGD STD test: Free, but limited access

You can get a free STD test at the GGD, but not everyone is eligible. To qualify, you must belong to one of the following risk groups:

• Men who have sex with men (MSM)
• Sex Workers
• Young people under 25
• People who come from a country where STDs are more common and their sex partner
• People with many different sex partners

Keep in mind that the GGD is often busy at this time, which means you often have to wait several weeks before you can get an appointment. In addition, the exact rules regarding high-risk groups may vary by region. For example, some regions may offer free testing up to age 22 instead of 25. So check this for the GGD in your region. The results of a GGD test are usually available within a week.

GP: Cost through deductible

A consultation with the doctor is free (the consultation), but you have to pay for the STD test. This cost is usually covered by your deductible with your health insurance company. Although you pay nothing at the time of the test, the cost is later settled through your deductible. This can even be more expensive than having a test done at OneDayClinic, for example. By the way, if you are healthy and make no other claims on your deductible during a year, you are often cheaper at a private clinic.
