HIV / STD Testing

Sexually Transmitted Diseases , STDs, are very common; in fact the most highly reported communicable disease in Utah and in the United States. Some STDs cause symptoms such as a discharge from the vagina or penis, others cause no symptoms and are often called Sexually Transmitted Infections or STIs. STDs and STIs  are passed from one person to another through sexual contact.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact, IV drug use by sharing of needles, and by certain exposures to blood or body fluids of someone who has HIV.
