FAQ
Could I have a STD?
In this year alone, approximately 19 million in the U.S. will contract an STD (according to the Centers for Disease Control). Of those, the CDC says almost half are young people. You may not know you have an STD. You might not have the obvious symptoms like pain, itching, or burning. Some STD's exhibit no signs at all. About half of all people having sex will be infected with an STD before reaching 25. So, if you are sexually active, you should not become a statistic. Get tested.

What will happen at the Patient Service Center?
