A GreatTesting Solution
For Peace of Mind
Shameless Care is the ONLY online STI testing company that offers a throat swab STI test. Anyone who has oral sex must be throat swab tested.
In fact, we believe any testing kit sold without a throat swab should come with a warning label, “Warning! Not for people who have engaged in oral sex!”
Throat swabs are the only way to detect oral gonorrhea or chlamydia, which can live in the throat without causing symptoms.
This panel is an excellent, affordable package for those wanting to be confident in their sexual health.
We started Shameless Care to provide exactly that.
Most people walking around believing they are STI-free haven’t been appropriately tested.
Testing has a positive impact on your sexual experience.
People choose sexual partners based on negative STI tests.
Some people choose to go without condoms due to a negative STI test.
Our Very Good Panel includes:
- Chlamydia oral throat swab test
- Chlamydia anal swab test
- Chlamydia genital urine test
- Gonorrhea oral throat swab test
- Gonorrhea anal swab test

FAQ &Information
How do your prices compare?
Here is a look at three of our competitors, so you can compare tests and pricing.
Take this one from Everlywell. It’s only $169 but doesn’t include a throat swab, and therefore shouldn’t be considered for those who have oral sex. It also doesn’t include Mycoplasma Genitalium (MG), Trichomoniasis (trich), Hepatitis B or Herpes Simplex Virus.
Another company offers a testing kit for $199, but unfortunately, it doesn't include tests for those engaging in oral sex, Mycoplasma Genitalium, or Trichomoniasis.
This alternative competitor to Shameless Care offers a comprehensive testing package but with a few differences. While they exclude Hepatitis B testing, Shameless Care includes it in their package. However, their package does offer gonorrhea and chlamydia testing specifically for the anus, which Shameless Care does not include. Therefore, if you have no concern about Hepatitis B and suspect you may have gonorrhea or chlamydia in the anus alone (excluding throat or genitals), their test is a suitable choice. It's worth noting that their testing kit is priced at $369, while ours is available for $299, making ours more affordable.
Are the tests accurate?
Absolutely, yes. You deserve STD testing that is as accurate as it is complete.
A laboratory processes the STD tests you get through Shameless Care using the same techniques as major healthcare institutions.

How long for delivery?
Delivery takes 7-10 days.
The tests come straight from Molecular Labs in the State of Washington to you.
Are the tests painful?
When we promise easy, we promise minimal discomfort.
Getting “the works” when it comes to a complete STD test panel, means testing different fluids from different places.
Here is what you can expect:
- Urine testing is painless—you need to worry mostly about aim.
- Blood collection is through a lancet device that most people experience as a quick pinch.
- Taking a throat swab sometimes triggers a gag reflex and can feel scratchy for a moment.
Is the STD packaging discrete?
Your privacy is part of our promise to you.
Your STD test panel has only the pharmacy name on the exterior package.
Why can't I go to my doctor?
You can, but be careful.
We created Shameless Care because we’ve seen many lifestyle members struggle to acquire competent and comprehensive STD testing, even after telling their doctor that they were non-monogamous.
Over the years, we’ve seen dozens of people’s STD tests from their doctors. Most patients describe their tests as “the works” or “everything,” but there were wild inconsistencies between what tests physicians ordered. Even more careful terms like “A 10 panel” or “full panel” tended to vary and have coverage gaps.
Imagine two people meeting at a polyamory meet-up.
Person A: "I was std tested last week and tested 'clean' for everything.
Person B: "That's great! I tested last month. Also, clean!"
That conversation was utterly useless. Neither person knows what tests the other received. They may barely know what tests they received! They left it up to their provider. Big mistake.
It could be that person A’s doctor tested her for HIV, Hepatitis, and Trichomansis while person B’s doctor tested him for HIV and gonorrhea.
There isn’t one STD; there are several. Some can be found in different body areas and require other collection methods to find. Therefore, the phrase “STD testing” is a term that is meaningless without further details.
If you decide not to use Shameless Care, we recommend taking this list of tests into the exam room. That way, you can be your health advocate and get the tests you need.
We cannot emphasize this enough: Learn about testing, your own unique needs, and demand the tests you need and deserve.
Do you accept insurance?
No. But you may be able to seek reimbursement from your insurance company.

Proper blood collection is critical.
Accuracy is of utmost importance in STI testing, and our meticulous laboratory partners, Molecular Labs, prioritize it as well. One reason why patients may have their lab specimens rejected is due to insufficient blood in the sample.
To ensure a successful sample, make sure to fill in the circle on the front of the card and ensure the blood saturates the paper all the way to the back. While there is no circle stenciled on the back, imagine that there was and fill it accordingly. The “circle” diameter must be completely filled with blood on both sides of the testing medium.
Any card submitted without enough samples will be rejected by the lab and cannot be replaced by Shameless Care. Check out the instructions and example of a rejected card below.
To make the process easier and less painful, here are some helpful tips:
- Run hot water over your hands for at least five minutes before washing and preparing with alcohol to increase blood flow.
- Use the lancet on the side of your fingertip, avoiding any calluses you may have.
- Squeeze your finger firmly, release, and allow it to refill with blood before repeating the process.
- Finally, make sure to submit a complete card. Incomplete cards will be rejected.
Here are a few additional notes:
- The test(s) must be returned within 60 days and at the same time.
- After you collect your specimens, ship them back to the lab immediately.
- Tests can only be completed by the person who ordered them.
- If you have questions or issues, do not hesitate to email customerservice@shamelesscare.com, or call/text (prefer text) 773-410-7884.
- Once the lab receives your specimens, you will be required to complete a post-testing form prior to receiving your results.
Here is an example of a blood sample collection card that could not be used for testing. Although it appears to be enough from the front, you can see that the blood has not saturated sufficiently per the instruction above.
Why should I get both urine and throat tests?
Several common STDs can infect different parts of your body depending on how you were exposed to them and getting the wrong test could miss this!
For example, having unprotected vaginal sex could lead to a genital chlamydia infection. But having unprotected oral sex could lead to oral chlamydia. A urine test would miss oral infection and an oral swab could miss the genital infection. Both can cause you health complications and both can be passed to new partners. As a result, depending on your practices, we often recommend both urine and oral swab tests.
In our experience, poorly understanding how your sexual practices inform your real testing needs is one of the biggest challenges individuals face when seeing a doctor for their testing needs.
