Is Planned Parenthood Free to Get Tested? Posted: 02-14-07 16:05pm
I'm gonna get tested this weekend for
herpes and I wanted to know if planned
parenthood was free, because I remember
someone telling me it was free to get
tested there. If it is my friend is going
to take me this weekend.

Yes, I believe they offer free tests. At
clinics it often depends on what you make,
however. If you make a lot of money,
they might ask you to pay something. If
you do not make much, you can probably get
it for free or low cost.

Genereally it is not completely free
unless your under the age of 18 and for
example a high school student, etc.
Otherwise they do ask how much you make
and base it off of your income. Generally
an exam and tests run about 380 but they
would charge you maybe 20. OR at times
they tell you "your services today would
have cost you 200, we ask that you just
leave a donation". And you can give them
what you feel or can afford at that time.

It depends on if you have health insurance
or not..Sounds awful but just say you dont
and it will be free.
