CVS Health: prices and how it works
Home test kits
CVS sells its own CVS Common STI Test Kit on cvs.com: a urine kit for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis that you mail to a certified lab. It is a retail product rather than a telehealth service, and it is not shipped to New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island or Puerto Rico.
Best for: People who want a single urine test for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis from a pharmacy store brand.
