STD / STI Testing in Seoul — Foreigner-Friendly Clinics

Getting tested for STDs in Seoul can be a smooth, discreet process, especially in clinics that cater to international patients. Many are English-friendly, accept walk-ins or quick appointments, offer modern lab methods, and return results in 1-3 days (sometimes the same day, depending on the test).

Here are some good options:

Clinic Highlights

  • Lante OBGYN Clinic (Gangnam)
    A women’s health clinic with English-speaking female doctors. They offer STD/STI screening and treatment, with confidential care and modern diagnostic methods. Good if you’re more comfortable in a women-focused setting.         gangnamobgyn.com
  • Second Spring OBGYN Clinic (Gangnam, Apgujeong-area)
    Offers STD testing and treatment in addition to their regular gynecological services. They emphasize privacy and respect and have procedures in place to protect patient confidentiality.         seoulobgyn.com
  • KHAP (Korea Federation for HIV/AIDS Prevention)
    If cost or anonymity is important, this is an excellent option. KHAP provides         free and anonymous rapid HIV and STI screening services for foreigners. They have centers in Seoul (Itaewon, Gireum) and elsewhere. They post schedules for when tests are available. khap.org

Costs & What Tests Cover

  • The price depends on which tests you need (HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, etc.), how many pathogens are included, and whether you are using public health services vs private clinics.
  • For single STD tests at a private clinic, you might see something like ₩20,000 - ₩80,000 per test. Full panels (multiple STIs) can run ₩100,000 - ₩250,000 or more.
  • For free or very low cost: KHAP and some public health centers offer anonymous or low-fee tests, especially HIV.

What to Look for in a Good Clinic

  • English-speaking staff / foreigners’ services
  • Confidentiality and discretion (private waiting areas, anonymous testing options)
  • Speed of results
  • Range of tests offered (urine PCR, blood tests, swabs, etc.)
  • Transparent pricing up front
  • Comfortable clinic environment (especially if it's your first time)
