Even the less computer-savvy people these days are beginning to grow comfortable with the idea of going online. From email to chat groups to social networking sites, the Internet has gradually become a part of many people's daily existences. When it comes to online commerce, most people by now are used to the idea of purchasing everything from diapers to groceries to medical care products off of the Internet, and thanks to search engine oriented marketing, it's easier than ever for consumers to find the products they need in a jiffy. Although e-commerce is a thriving component of the economy, there are still items and products that some people might be less than comfortable purchasing online. Tracey Powell is the founder and CEO of getSTDtested.com, an online company that facilitates STD testing in a manner that is both convenient and confidential, and while he agrees that there are many benefits to ordering STD tests online, some people are certainly less apt to do so than others. In order to make customers more comfortable with the idea of purchasing STD tests online, Tracey answers the following frequently asked questions about his business: Take a look- STD Tests Are STD tests ordered online really reliable? Yes, any STD test ordered through getSTDtested.com is just as reliable as a test that a doctor would administer. The company partners with some of the most reputable testing facilities in the country to ensure that all test results are extremely accurate, typically the same national labs used by your physician. Additionally, the company has a number of doctors on staff to review test results and offer consultations as necessary. Are STD tests ordered online really confidential? Just like your doctor in certain states, getSTDtested.com is required to report positive results for certain STDs. However, ordering online allows customers to control information provided. The company also utilizes several mechanisms to protect customers. When a customer requests his lab-based tests through the website, he is assigned a patient ID number that corresponds to a particular email address. This ID number will appear on a laboratory test requisition form in lieu of an actual name in order to protect the patient's true identity. Nondescript labels are also used for e-mail correspondence and credit card receipts. Refer to - std testing What happens if a person doesn't know which STDs to get tested for?

1. Anonymous and Affordable STD Testing for Young
People
Condoms may now be handed out routinely at high schools and colleges across the
nation, but that practice is apparently not leading to a slowdown in occurrences of
sexually transmitted diseases in today's young people. In fact, reported cases of
Chlamydia and gonorrhea were highest among young women between the ages of
15 and 19 according to the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC's) latest statistics.
And the 20 to 24 age range isn't trailing too far behind.
Take a look- STD Tests
Chlamydia and gonorrhea aren't the only STDs afflicting the country's youth either.
Syphilis, herpes, HIV and AIDS are also running rampant, a recent Louisiana Tech
University "Tech Talk Online" article reported. Making all of these statistics even
more alarming is that young people are often most resistant to seeking the STD
testing and treatment they should be out of fear that their parents will find out that
they've been sexually active. Case in point, Louisiana Tech University, where the
campus' Student Health Center director, said "for a 12-month period there were 10
documented times students [who] came in seeking STD testing or treatment, which
is very low."
Even when they're of a consulting adult age, most young people are still covered
under their parents' health insurance plans. That means any doctors' visits and/or
lab testing will show up on their parents' records and bills. In such cases, many of
today's sexually active youth would be more likely to get the STD testing they need
if they could get it performed anonymously and pay for it out of their own pockets.
An online STD testing provider has partnered with two of the nation's largest
independent laboratories to provide them with the discretion and peace of mind
they're seeking. Best of all, its prices are affordable enough for even students'
limited budgets.
The business offers a complete range of STD testing options, including Candida
Antibodies, Qualitative; Chlamydia; Gonorrhea; Hepatitis A; Hepatitis A, B and C
Panel; Herpes 1; Herpes 2; HIV; and Syphilis. It also offers a reduced price
combination package that tests for the two most common sexually transmitted
diseases on high school and college campuses: Chlamydia and gonorrhea. Left
untreated, both of these diseases can lead to long-term health consequences,
including infertility.

For those who are seeking even more comprehensive STD testing packages, even
greater discounts are available. The company is currently offering a special on its
most popular Peace of Mind STD testing package, which includes ten important
tests: HIV-1 Abs, Hepatitis B Panel (3 tests), Hepatitic C Antibody, Herpes 1&2 IgG
ELISA, Syphilis RPR, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Turnaround time is typically one
to three business days. Priced at $249, it represents a 52% savings over the cost of
having all ten tests performed individually.
