Disclosure to Service Providers

TestMeSTD.com does not directly provide healthcare or laboratory services.

Generally, you can visit our website without divulging any personal information. However, to request a laboratory test or receive laboratory test results, TestMeSTD.com will request personal demographic information from you, including your name and telephone number. We will not ask for and do not receive, transmit, or store personal healthcare information. After you place and pay for your order, you will be provided a secure link to an external website owned and operated by Medivo Services, LLC or its affiliates (“Medivo”) and/or Quest Diagnostics, Inc.

Disclosure of Test Results to You

In the ordering process we will ask for your telephone number so that we may communicate “positive” or “abnormal” test results to you promptly. Please enter a correct and current phone number where we may reach you. Please be aware that our representatives or partners may call the telephone number you provide in order to give you important health information, which may include the results of your laboratory tests. Whenever we contact you by telephone, we will verify your identity by asking you for the personal verification code that you entered prior to discussing any order information. We will not leave any information on a telephone answering machine or voicemail system. Do not share this personal verification code with anyone. You authorize us to share information, including lab test results, with you over the telephone if you correctly provide the personal verification code to our representatives.
