Get tested. Be informed, Make healthy choices.
How can we help?
At Life Choices Medical Center, we offer testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis that can be performed on the same urine sample that you provide for your pregnancy test. We also offer blood testing to check for HIV, herpes, and syphilis, our nurse will determine if this testing is appropriate at your appointment. Or we can provide this limited STI testing as a single service. If you test positive for one of these infections, treatment may also be available at no cost to you. Testing and treatment referral appointments are also available for your partner if your test is positive.
When should I get tested?
You need to get tested if:
-
you've recently had unprotected sex
-
you've had a change in partners
-
you have experienced itching or burning in your pelvic area
-
you have scheduled an abortion
You may need to get tested even if you have no symptoms or consistently use a condom. Sex always carries the risks of STIs and STDs, even oral and anal sex.
What are the most common STD/STI symptoms?
