Sexually Transmitted Diseases

What Services Are Available?

The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program works to reduce the spread and medical complications of STDs through disease investigations and partner services. Individuals who go undiagnosed and untreated may spread the infection to others and experience long-term negative health effects. Because prevention and early detection are important in controlling sexually transmitted diseases, STD program staff educates, counsels, locates, and screens persons at risk for sexually transmitted diseases and makes referrals for medical follow-up.

STDs include syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, genital warts, HIV, hepatitis, and many others. Our routine testing includes syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV.

Testing is available each day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in our clinics.
