Playing in the Puddle? Put on Your Raincoat!
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)Our sexual health services are completely confidential, affordable and available to anyone regardless of citizenship or immigration status. These services are also available to teens.
IT ONLY TAKES ONE: We are seeing a rise in syphilis cases statewide. It only takes one sexual encounter to contract the disease. Some people don’t know they have syphilis because they don’t feel the symptoms, or their symptoms mimic other illnesses. Make an appointment to get tested for STDs including syphilis. One stick could put your mind at ease.
Call or visit any of our seven locations to make an appointment or to learn more.
