Take Action!
Get checked regularly for STDs, especially if you are under age 25. Talk with your partner about getting tested, too.
Make an appointment at a health center or clinic.
If you think you may be at risk, talk with your doctor about STDs. To find an STD clinic near you:
Be sure to ask about getting tested for HIV.
What about cost?
Some STD testing and prevention counseling is covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get these services at no cost to you.
Talk to your insurance company to find out what this means for you. For information about other services covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
