Usually : Predicting insurance coverage is always a challenge but std testing is very basic & an important part of preventative care. Normal std testing includes gonorrhea, chlamydia, hiv, syphilis &trichomoniasis. Herpes and hepatitis can be included if needed. Herpes testing has challenges. At age 20 you probably have been vaccinated for hep b. Don't be afraid to ask for specifics at your visit.

Yes and no: Most insurances will pay for std testing. The percentage you have to pay will depend on your plan.
