writes: I'm a sexually active young woman, and I haven't been tested for STD's in over a year. I haven't been back, because I didn't feel like there was a reason to, after all, everything seems fine as I don't have any unusual symptoms. But the last guy I had sex with has suddenly just told me that he's got a rash and it burns when he urinates. At first, I thought there was no way I could have anything, because I felt fine. But upon doing some research, I discovered that certain STD's might not show ANY symptoms at all in some people. So now I'm panicked. I have no medical insurance, and I just lost my job a week ago, so I'm really low on cash. Does anyone know how much getting tested will set me back, and if I do infact have something, how much a prescription would cost??

In Canada we have free health care; so we don't pay for STD tests. I've heard though in parts of Seattle and San Fransisco that you can get free STD test at some gay nightclubs. Maybe check that out.
