Why Get Tested for STI/STD?
The only way to avoid the possible transmission of STDs and STIs is to get tested. If you think you may have been exposed, get tested. People can become exposed to STDs and STIs if they or their partner have had unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex.
We offer 3 site testing with a vaginal, rectal, and throat swab to increase accuracy and avoid false negatives. Even if you don’t have symptoms, you can still transmit STDs and STIs to others. For more information about free STD testing, call 205-831-0641
