Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), spread through sexual contact and are very common. Testing is important because STDs don’t always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms, so it is possible to have an infection and not know it. STDs can have consequences ranging from mild to serious such as infertility, tubal pregnancy, cancer, and sterility.

STDs are preventable. If you engage in sexual activity, click here to learn how to protect yourself and your sex partner(s) with information from the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
