STIs or STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are usually passed through sexual contact with an infected partner. They include many diseases such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis, syphilis, and others.
STDs are widespread – more than 2.5 million people in the U.S. are infected each year. Having a STI can make you more likely to get HIV.
Talk about your testing needs with your health care provider.
Get Tested
Protect yourself and get tested right away if you think you have any symptoms, or think you’ve been exposed to an STD. Many STDs don’t have any symptoms, especially in women. We offer low or no-cost testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV.
To schedule an appointment, call 850-404-6402.
Test and Treat
We provide strictly confidential testing, treatment, and counseling to anyone exposed to or diagnosed with an STD.
Our proactive approach helps protect infected individuals, their partners and unborn children from serious complications that may result from untreated STDs.
Anyone diagnosed with an STD who is receiving our services is encouraged to take advantage of our partner referral service, which includes notification and treatment of their partners. This service is provided on a voluntary basis and is strictly confidential.
Community Outreach
Staff educate the general public on how to recognize the symptoms of these diseases, as well as offer information on prevention, treatment and services available to area residents.
In addition, staff are available to conduct screenings and educational presentations at health fairs and wellness events on request.
