Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are amongst the most reported diseases in the United States. STDs are most common among adolescents and young adults.

We provide confidential STD testing on-site at the Jefferson County Health Department for Syphilis and Gonorrhea, as well as consultation and treatment.  Please call (618) 244–7134 to speak with a public health nurse on STD testing and treatment at JCHD.

These 4 steps can significantly reduce the risk for STD/HIV infection:

• Abstinence
• Using Condoms
• Being in a Mutually Monogamous Relationship
• Reducing your Number of Sex Partners

Condoms are available at NO COST at the Jefferson County Health Department front desk
