STD Testing and Care
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect millions of people annually, often without causing symptoms. At The Women’s Clinic, we offer confidential and comprehensive STD testing to help protect your health.
We routinely screen for:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- HIV
- Genital herpes (HSV)
- Trichomoniasis
- Mycoplasma genitalium
When to Get Tested:
- If you’re under 25 and sexually active
- If you have a new sexual partner
- If you experience symptoms like unusual discharge or pain
- During your annual gynecology exam
Testing is simple and may involve blood, urine, or tissue samples. Your provider will review your results, offer treatment if necessary, and provide guidance to prevent future infections.

Planning your family is an essential part of maintaining your health and well-being. Jessica Kirkwood, ARNP, and our team offer comprehensive birth control counseling to help you find the best method for your lifestyle and goals.
