Confidential STI Testing & Treatment

Protecting your health starts with knowledge, prevention, and access to care. The LMAS District Health Department is dedicated to preventing and controlling the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by providing confidential testing, diagnosis, treatment, and education. Whether you are experiencing symptoms, have had a potential exposure, or simply want routine screening, our services are here to help you take charge of your sexual health.

Why STI Testing is Important

Many STIs do not show symptoms right away, making regular testing essential for early detection and treatment. Left untreated, some infections can lead to serious health complications, including infertility, organ damage, and an increased risk of transmitting infections to others. Testing and treatment can protect your health and the health of your partners.

Our Services

We offer free or low-cost STI screening and treatment for a range of infections, including:

• Chlamydia

Our experienced healthcare professionals provide judgment-free care in a private and supportive environment. If treatment is needed, we offer effective options to manage or cure infections, along with education on prevention and safer practices.

Who Should Get Tested?

Routine STI testing is recommended for:

• Anyone who is sexually active, especially those with multiple partners.
• Individuals who have had unprotected sex.
• Pregnant women, as some infections can affect the baby.
• Anyone experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain during urination, sores, or irritation.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Your privacy is our priority. All STI testing and treatment services at LMAS District Health Department are completely confidential. No one will have access to your information without your consent.

STI Prevention and Education

Prevention is key to stopping the spread of STIs. Our health professionals provide education and resources on:

• Safe sex practices, including condom use.
• The benefits of vaccination, such as the HPV vaccine, which protects against certain cancers.
• Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for individuals at high risk of HIV.
• Partner notification and treatment options to prevent reinfection.
