Hepatitis C (blood test)
Gonorrhea (urine, rectal, genital, and/or throat swab test)
Chlamydia (urine, rectal, genital, and/or throat swab test)

WHAT IF I TEST POSITIVE?
We know it can feel confusing and scary getting diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, and we will make sure you get the treatment you need. We don't prescribe treatment here but are linked with wonderful providers we trust.
If you receive an HIV diagnosis, you will be immediately referred to our in-house medical case manager who has many years experience working with people living with HIV. The MCM will work directly with you to get you into the best care. Though there is not a cure for HIV (yet), for most, HIV can be effectively treated with one pill a day or an injection every other month. We will be by your side to help you consider your best options.
