STD Prevention Program

The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention Program’s is a regional program that serves 14 counties. Our mission is to intervene in the spread of STDs throughout the counties. Through educational presentations, screenings, health fairs and our outreach programs we are able to raise awareness in the counties. We provide confidential counseling, testing and treatment for persons either diagnosed or exposed to an STD. Furthermore, we have a proactive approach to help protect infected individuals, their partners and unborn children from the serious complications that may result from untreated STDs. Clients receiving our services who are diagnosed with an STD are also offered partner referral services that allow notification and treatment for their partners. This service is provided to clients on a voluntary basis and is strictly confidential.

Our four major program components comprise the STD Prevention Program are:

  Clinical Services
  Community Relations
  Field Services (including Partner Counseling and Referral Services)
  Information for Teens
  Surveillance
