STI testing is a normal part of health care - help the young people in your school take action

CHAT offers free, confidential, self-administered STI testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia for students 12 years old and older.

CHAT covers the cost of treatment at any PPIL location for students who test positive. Anyone who tests with CHAT gets information on where and how to access additional services, including, but not limited to, STI testing, HIV testing, pregnancy testing, birth control, condoms, and pregnancy health care.
