I hear you! It is a little weird. It's possible your PCP ordered it, though I haven't heard of us doing that. I've worked there for a while and every year we have a non-zero number of joke orders, which is annoying but comes with the territory of offering sexual health resources to the public. One time we had some students at a Catholic school order a condom packet to be sent to their teacher; that was fun 🙄

Editing to add: I spoke with my colleague who runs the program and he said PCPs shouldn't do this without your knowledge. If you want to talk to someone in our office, send a message to GetCheckedDC@dc.gov and he'll do his best to help you figure out what happened.

The doctor running a STD/STI test may have triggered something with DC Health to send out an HIV test.

Some STDs are dormant in your system for years, such as HPV. And HPV can cause UTIs.
