The Centers for Disease Control estimate that there are 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) annually. Half of those cases are in men & women under age 25. Untreated STD’s can cause serious health problems, including infertility. The Health Department provides confidential and affordable testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted diseases through our family planning and STD programs.
