Sexually Transmitted Infections

Get Tested

Protect yourself and get tested right away if you think you have any symptoms, or think you’ve been exposed.

Many STIs don’t have any symptoms, especially in women. We offer low or no-cost testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV.

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) or sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are usually passed through sexual contact with an infected partner. They include many diseases such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis, syphilis, and others.

STDs are widespread – more than 2.5 million people in the U.S. are infected each year. Having a STI can make you more likely to get HIV.  Talk about your testing needs with your health care provider.
