Sexually Transmitted Infections

Testing:

Many students seek out routine STI screening, even when they are not having symptoms, just to be sure they don’t have an STI. This is important, since many infections do not cause symptoms.

Symptoms:

If you are sexually active and experiencing symptoms such as:

  • Unusual discharge
  • Sores
  • Bumps
  • Blisters
  • Bleeding between periods or after sex
  • Burning pain with urination
  • Pelvic pain

Call for an appointment for evaluation and treatment or you can be seen on the same day as a walk-in.

Here are the facts!

….straight from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention

  • CDC estimates that there are approximately 19 million new STI infections each year.

  • Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia can result in pelvic inflammatory disease in women, a condition that can cause infertility.

  • Untreated syphilis can lead to serious long-term complications, including brain, cardiovascular and organ damage.
