3 Reasons to Take Advantage of Free STD Testing
Sexually transmitted diseases have been on the rise in the United States and Arkansas.
Currently, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most common bacterial STDs in our state. Elevate Women’s Center provides no-cost STD testing and treatment to women for these two common STDs.
Here are three reasons why women should take advantage of our free STD testing.
1. Protect Your Sexual Health.
While chlamydia and gonorrhea can go unnoticed, it doesn’t mean they aren’t causing damage to your reproductive health.
If left untreated, they can develop into pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which may cause scar tissue and pockets of infected fluid (abscesses) to develop in the reproductive tract. Scarring and abscesses can lead to permanent damage.
Complications from untreated PID might include ectopic pregnancy, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and tubo-ovarian abscess (which can develop into a life-threatening infection).
2. Stop the Spread.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are both contagious and can spread from person to person through sex and sexual contact. Both infections can also spread to an infant during childbirth.
You can ensure you aren’t spreading an STD to others by taking advantage of free testing and treatment.
Remember, if you test positive, your current partner may also have the infection and should receive testing and treatment for their health and to prevent reinfecting you.
3. It’s Free.
If reasons one and two aren’t enough, there aren’t any financial barriers to receiving free and confidential STD testing at many local organizations.
At Elevate Women’s Center, women facing pregnancy can receive STD testing and pregnancy testing for free in the same appointment.
Because STD testing is free, you can receive testing without worrying about paying lab fees. We have flexible scheduling at times that work for your schedule so you can proactively identify and treat any existing STDs.
