STI Testing & Sexual Health
Confidential, compassionate sexual health services in a judgment-free environment.
Comprehensive STI Screening
Regular STI screening is an important part of sexual health for all sexually active individuals. At East Village Medical Center, we provide confidential testing in a comfortable, non-judgmental setting.
We test for a wide range of sexually transmitted infections, including:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- HIV
- Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2)
- Hepatitis B and C
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
- Trichomoniasis
Treatment and Follow-Up
If a test result comes back positive, our team will discuss treatment options with you promptly and discreetly. Many STIs are easily treatable with medication, and early detection is key to preventing complications and transmission.
We provide follow-up testing to confirm that treatment was successful and offer partner notification guidance when appropriate.
Sexual Health Counseling
Beyond testing and treatment, we offer comprehensive sexual health counseling that covers safer sex practices, HPV vaccination, PrEP referrals for HIV prevention, and any other questions or concerns you may have about your sexual health.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I be tested for STIs?
The CDC recommends annual screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea for all sexually active women under 25, and for older women with risk factors. HIV testing should be done at least once. Your provider will recommend a screening schedule based on your individual risk factors.
Is STI testing confidential?
Absolutely. All STI testing and results are handled with strict confidentiality. Your results will only be shared with you and will not be disclosed to anyone without your consent.
Can I be tested even if I don't have symptoms?
Yes, and in fact we recommend it. Many STIs are asymptomatic, meaning you can have an infection without knowing it. Regular screening is the best way to protect your health and the health of your partners.
