Rapid HIV testing can be done by swabbing the inside of your mouth. The results are available in 20-30 minutes.

Counseling and confidential (private) testing for HIV are provided by trained staff who are sensitive to your needs and concerns.

Children and adolescents younger than age 19 may qualify for the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines. Some health centers may charge a low administrative fee for this service.

Individuals ages 19 and older who have no health insurance and meet financial criteria may qualify for the Merck Vaccine Patient Assistance Program to receive the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) at no charge. Other fees may apply.

Some vaccines are given in a series over the course of several months, which would require you to return to the health center to get the full benefit.

Some STD testing and treatment services may be covered by your insurance. If you want to use your insurance, please be sure to have your insurance information at the time of your visit.
