Results, privacy and consultations

STDcheck.com

Results
Results are posted to your private online account, with an email when they are ready, typically 1–2 business days after the lab visit. HIV RNA takes 2–4 business days, and the FAQ says HIV RNA, trichomoniasis and Mycoplasma genitalium can take up to an extra week.
Privacy
STDcheck.com does not bill insurance and says results are not sent to an insurer or added to your medical record. Card charges show as "ANALYTE HEALTH". Positive results for reportable infections are reported to public health as required by law, even when the test is ordered online. The physician group's terms say a positive result may be disclosed to your state health agency.
Physician consultation
Lab orders are authorized by an independent physician group, and a physician fee is added per order at checkout. After a positive result you can speak with a physician by phone; several pages call this consultation free, while the FAQ lists a fee for a consultation with a written prescription and another for a partner prescription.

Quest Diagnostics

Results
Quest emails a secure link once all results in the order are ready, typically 1–2 business days after the sample (2–3 business days for the Expanded panel, herpes and HPV tests). Some states, including California and Pennsylvania, may hold results a few extra days under state rules. The physician group calls you if a result needs prompt attention or an STD or HIV result is positive.
Privacy
Tests are not billed to insurance, so no insurance statement is created. Quest says only you, Quest and the ordering physician group can see your results, and they are not shared with your own doctor unless you share them. Positive results for reportable infections are reported to public health as required by law, even when the test is ordered online.
Physician consultation
An independent physician group orders every test and reviews results, paid for by a physician service fee per order. Discussing your results with a provider is included at no extra cost. After a positive result the provider may prescribe treatment for chlamydia, gonorrhea or trichomoniasis in some states, but cannot treat HIV, syphilis or hepatitis. Medication cost is not stated.
