Getting tested for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) is important for anyone, of any age, who is sexually active and engaged in any type of sexual activity. Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have an STI.
It is estimated that about 20 percent of the United States population – approximately one in five people in the U.S. – has an STI.
We provide testing and treatment for the two most common STIs – Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.
Symptoms of STIs
It is possible to have an STI and experience no symptoms at all. The following symptoms may indicate the presence of an STI:
- An abnormal vaginal discharge
- Increased vaginal discharge
- A painful or burning sensation when peeing
- Vaginal bleeding between periods
Who should be tested for a STIs?
Anyone who has had any type of sexual activity with one or more partners should be tested.
Barrier methods, such as condoms, may help reduce the risk of contracting an STI, but these methods are only risk reduction, not risk elimination.
