* [http://www.drtanandpartners.com/ Dr. Tan & Partners]: Does a full range of tests for a bit more expensive than the other private clinics (full women's exam is $525 excluding GST and consulting). They seem very responsive to people on their website. The tests are not anonymous; it seems that they are required to report some results, like syphilis results, to MOM. Has 6 locations so check the website for each address. | |||

At DSC (the public clinic), you'll probably find the cheapest rates, where average bills come out to $100-140 (including the consultation). At private clinics, for a comprehensive STI and women's health test, prices will generally be between $400-500 with a $20 consultation fee. If you want a "basic" test, which usually means HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, that'll be around $20-60 with a $20 consultation fee. For $100-200, you can get a test that covers all STIs without the additional women's wellness/health exam plus the $20 consultation fee. | |||
