Your reproductive health is worth protecting. If you’re sexually active, testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)/sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is one of the simplest ways to take care of your body and your future. Even if you feel fine, testing can give you clarity, catch infections early, and help you move forward with confidence.
At Woman to Woman Health Center, we provide lab-quality, confidential STD/STI basic testing for women at no cost, delivered by a medical team focused on your overall health and well-being. Additional testing and treatment can be provided for minimal fees. Schedule your appointment today and take a proactive step toward protecting your health.
Here are three important reasons to schedule STD/STI testing.
1. Many Infections Have No Symptoms
Many STIs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, often show no symptoms, especially in women. That means you could have an infection and not know it.
Even without symptoms, untreated STIs can still be passed to a partner. Testing allows infections to be identified and treated sooner, helping protect your long-term health and the health of others.
2. Early Detection Protects Your Long-Term Health
When left untreated, certain STIs can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, premature delivery, and low birth weight.
According to the CDC, certain STIs can be passed to a baby during pregnancy or delivery and may cause serious health complications. These include HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and genital herpes.
Protecting your reproductive health today can have lasting effects on your future fertility and pregnancies.
If you are considering birth control, have recently experienced a chemical abortion, or are scheduling a well-woman exam, STD/STI testing can be an important part of your overall care.
Our team can discuss your situation and help determine appropriate next steps.
3. It’s Part of Responsible Preventive Care
STI Screening Recommendations from the CDC encourage routine STI testing for sexually active individuals based on age and risk factors. Regular testing is part of responsible preventive care; it helps you stay informed about your health and take action before small concerns become larger problems.
At Woman to Woman Health Center, our medical team provides testing in a professional, supportive environment. If needed, we can also discuss birth control consultation options following a qualifying exam, answer questions about reproductive health, and provide additional screening services.
