Most family docs: Most family docs can order the tests for you. If you want a specialist, not usually necessary, an infectious disease specialist would be an option.

Several options: I agree with Dr. Chiu's reply. Other options are a local health department STD clinic or a reproductive health clinic like Planned Parenthood. These can be particularly good if uninsured or limited means, and most are highly expert. PP sees men as well as women. Online services can arrange testing as well, but beware of "comprehensive" panels that may include unneeded tests at high cost.
