FREE & CONFIDENTIAL TESTING
If you have recently had unprotected sex, have known signs or symptoms, or feel like you would like to know your sexual health status, then the best thing you can do for yourself and your partner is to be tested! Luckily, the Montgomery County Health Department can help! We provide FREE screenings for HIV, Hepatitis C, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea! In addition to all screenings being FREE, they are also 100% confidential and anonymous. FREE treatment is available for those that test positive for either Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. Also, follow up screenings or referrals are provided if needed.
SCREENING PROCEDURES
The screening process is simple! For females being screened for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, a vaginal swab is self-administered. For males being screened for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, a urine sample is collected. Those who receive anal sex are encouraged to collect a rectal swab as Gonorrhea is site specific; therefore, it may be negative is one area but positive in another. A small blood sample is collected for anyone being screened for HIV or Hepatitis C.
SCREENING HISTORY
Montgomery County Health Department has been screening for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea since September, 2017. We have also been screening for HIV and Hepatitis C in partnership with ASPIRE since May, 2017. Remember that all screenings are completely FREE, confidential, and anonymous.
