Editorial Policy
How STD Test Options writes, reviews, discloses, and updates informational STD testing comparison content.
Editorial purpose
Our editorial goal is to help users compare testing paths clearly without overstating privacy, speed, accuracy, or medical certainty.
Source standards
We prefer official public health sources, clinic pages, provider pages, and recognized health agencies. Pages should include visible sources when specific clinic or medical guidance claims are made.
YMYL content standards
STD testing is health-related content, so pages should use cautious language. We avoid diagnosis language, guaranteed outcomes, and claims such as completely anonymous, instant diagnosis, or catches everything.
Affiliate disclosure
Commercial relationships must be disclosed near relevant content. Affiliate links should not remove public clinic options or safety caveats from the page.
Updates
Pages may be updated for source changes, policy changes, link maintenance, content improvements, and clearer comparison guidance.
