If you are sexually active, there is a possibility of exposure to sexually transmitted diseases or infections (STDs/STIs). While barrier and hormonal birth control methods can reduce risk, no method provides complete protection against the transmission of STDs/STIs. STD/STI testing is an important part of routine sexual health care for individuals who are sexually active and can help identify infections early so appropriate care can be provided.
Some sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/STIs) may not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why testing can be an important part of routine sexual health care. Early identification of STDs/STIs allows for timely treatment and can help reduce the likelihood of complications. Bella Women’s Center in Warren provides limited testing for select STDs/STIs for patients with a confirmed pregnancy. Services are delivered by licensed medical professionals in a confidential, clinical setting.
