Whether you have symptoms, have been exposed to an STI, or simply want routine screening, our team offers compassionate, judgment-free care and the information you need to make informed decisions.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or venereal diseases (VDs), are infections that are spread by sex – including vaginal, anal, and oral sex, as well as direct skin-to-skin contact involving the genital area. People who have an STI may have no visible signs of infection in the early stages and may not know they have an STI.
The most common STIs are syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts, and genital herpes.
Partner Management
To reduce the spread of STIs, we offer a partner assistance and referral program and can help notify sex partners of persons with HIV and other selected STIs, offer prevention counseling, and encourage the partner’s examination and/or treatment.
The Wear One campaign provides free condoms and education on STI services, including testing and treatment. The public can stop in and pick up a Wear One condom bag that includes 8 condoms, lube, and STI/HIV testing information. Bags are available in all office location bathrooms.
The goal is to decrease sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies by removing barriers to condom use, such as cost, embarrassment, and lack of access.
