Our urgent care centers provide comprehensive STI testing, with results available within 24-48 hours for HIV, HPV, genital herpes, syphilis, and other infections. For women, we also offer rapid testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, with results available in 20-30 minutes.

If you think you have been exposed, have multiple partners, or notice symptoms, early testing and treatment are key to preventing complications, such as infertility, chronic pain, and other serious concerns.

During your visit, we’ll review your health history, check your vitals, and perform an exam. Depending on your symptoms and concerns, testing may include blood screenings, a urine test, or swabs.

Test results are available through the Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway. If you are not a Mass General Brigham patient or do not use the portal, we will call you with any positive results.

Virtual Urgent Care

Like traditional urgent care, virtual urgent care is an option to be seen and treated for minor illnesses and injuries that do not require attention from a hospital emergency department. But with virtual care, patients can receive one-on-one treatment from medical providers without leaving their homes.
