Medical review
Every condition guide, testing guide and service review on EasySTD is checked by qualified clinicians so the medical claims stay accurate: what each test detects, detection windows, when to retest, and how conditions are treated. Our board of 7 reviewers brings together infectious-disease, family-medicine, OB-GYN and pharmacy expertise alongside our editorial team.
The board
These are the people who check our work. Each reviewer is matched to the content that fits their specialty, and the editorial team grounds every page in current public-health data.
MD · Sexual Health Physician · Chief Medical Reviewer
Physician focused on sexual health, STI testing, treatment and prevention, and EasySTD's chief medical reviewer. Owns the condition guides and is the clinical backstop for any page without a more specific specialist.
MD, MPH · Infectious Disease & Epidemiology
Board-certified in infectious disease with a focus on STI epidemiology and public-health screening programs. Leads testing, diagnosis and the data-driven 'state of STDs' reporting.
MD · Sexual Health & Family Medicine
Family physician specializing in sexual health, PrEP/PEP care, and confidential STI screening. Front-line voice for prevention and 'what does this symptom mean' guidance.
MD, FACOG · OB-GYN
Obstetrician-gynecologist focused on reproductive and sexual health for women: pregnancy, BV, yeast, trichomoniasis and HPV/cervical screening.
PharmD · Clinical Pharmacist
Clinical pharmacist reviewing STI treatment guidance, antibiotics and antivirals, drug interactions, and at-home testing accuracy.
Lead Reviews Editor · Independent testing & product reviews
See how we review STD testing services: the categories we score, how we verify pricing, and why our affiliate links never change a rating.
RN, Senior Health Editor · Sexual-health editorial lead
Registered nurse and health editor who writes and edits across sexual-health topics, disclosure, relationships and general guides, and is the editorial lead and author backup when a piece spans specialties.
How we work
Every page follows the same path, researched, written, medically reviewed and dated, and our ratings stay independent of any affiliate relationship. Read more about how we review STD testing services.
Health writers compile each guide from public-health data and clinical guidance, the CDC, U.S. Census Bureau, the Guttmacher Institute and County Health Rankings, never from a company's marketing copy.
A qualified clinician on the board checks the medical claims, what each test detects, detection windows, when to retest, treatment guidance, before anything is published.
EasySTD may earn a commission when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. That relationship never changes a rating, a ranking, or which services we recommend.
Every guide carries a last-reviewed date. When guidance, pricing or data changes, we re-check the page and update the date so you always know how fresh it is.
Data sources we rely on include the CDC, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Guttmacher Institute and County Health Rankings.
Our reviewed, independently rated recommendations make it easy to choose a service and get tested with confidence.
