Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing & Treatment



Make an appointment if you currently have symptoms of burning, itching, discharge, or bumps. If you currently are not experiencing symptoms you can walk in any time durring business hours without schedualing an appointment for STD/HIV testing.

All plants and animals that reproduce sexually may develop sexually transmitted infections. They are also very common among humans. Unfortunately, many people consider sexually transmitted infection a moral issue. But the stigma and shame that result may lead people to neglect taking good care of their sexual health. Many people find it very difficult to talk about their sexual health. But discomfort and shame can get in the way of common sense. They can keep people from taking good care of themselves and their partners by practicing safer sex and getting annual sexual-health checkups with their health care providers.

Practicing safer sex,
Allows couples to reduce their sexual health risks. Safer sex is anything we do to lower our risk of sexually transmitted infection. The basic rule for safer sex is to avoid contact with genital sores and prevent the exchange of body fluids, such as semen, blood, and vaginal secretions.
