When possible, you probably want to avoid going to the emergency room.
Doing so can be both expensive and time-consuming.
Seeing a doctor at the clinic is likely to be both cheaper and faster than going to the ED.
Urgent care visits are normally substantially cheaper than going to the ER.
They also often take less time.
However, not all urgent care clinics will have the ability to do STD testing for all patients.
