Testing for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, & HIV.
All for FREE! Have you tried to do these out of pocket? The prices are crazy and can cost about $600 for just these 4 tests. The tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are either swabs (throat, vaginal, anal) and/or urine tests, while blood tests are used for both HIV and Syphilis.
If a positive test result is received, the patient will be called in for treatment either by a personal doctor or DCHD. Education will be provided on STI prevention, and all treatment will be confidential and free of judgement.
Patients may choose the provider from whom they receive care. DCHD will provide free testing, while providers may charge fees. Test results will be reported to the local health department either way.
Telling your partner can feel intimidating for some patients. DCHD offers partner notification calls, where STI exposure notifications are provided to people who may have had contact with these infections. Calls follow the format of "Hello, my name is ____, from the Delaware County Health Department. It has been reported to us that you may have been exposed to ____(STIs)."
****Note this does not apply to HIV exposures
