Thanks for your question. When it comes to sexual health a lot of people worry about confidentiality and comfort with their health care provider. If you are having sex, it’s always a good idea to get checked for sexually transmitted infections (STI’s), especially if you have any symptoms such as bumps. Here are a few places other than your health care provider where you can get tested:
- School health center (some schools have health centers/clinic where you can get tested)
- A local sexual health clinic (such as an STI clinic, this can include places such as Planned Parenthood)
- A local urgent care
If you live in the United States, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has a website to help you find testing sites in your area. Here’s the link: gettested.cdc.gov
