Sexually Transmitted Diseases
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)
http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats10/trends.htm,
one out of four Americans will contract a Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD) at some time in their life.
However,
less than half of people
who should be screened receive recommended STD screening
services.
Undetected and
untreated STDs can increase a person’s risk for HIV and cause
other serious health consequences, such as infertility. STD
screening can help detect disease early and, when combined with
treatment, is one of the most effective tools available to
protect one’s health and prevent the spread of STDs.
The medical and nursing staff at UWGB-CHC can evaluate your risk for
STD, offer and complete appropriate testing and provide the
education you need to protect yourself and others.
STD testing does require a small
fee, see our
fee schedule.
Fees are subject to change.
Call 920-465-2380 to schedule an appointment with a Registered Nurse to
discuss your individual needs.
