Free, Inclusive STI & HIV Testing
Your health matters — and so does your peace of mind. We provide fast, judgment-free testing for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Why Get Tested?
Getting tested is one of the most important steps you can take for your health and your relationships. Many STIs, including HIV, don’t always cause symptoms, which means you could have an infection without knowing it.
Benefits of Knowing Your HIV Status
- Peace of Mind –Testing helps you take control of your health.
- Early Treatment – Most STIs are easily treated, and HIV care is highly effective when started early.
- Protect Your Partners – Knowing your status helps you make safer choices and prevent transmission.
- Stay Healthy – Regular testing is part of routine self-care, just like dental checkups or annual physicals.
- Access to Prevention – If you test negative, you can learn about PrEP, condoms, and other tools to help you stay protected.
Knowledge is power — and getting tested is a caring choice for yourself and your community.

What it looks like
Small blisters or sores around the mouth, genitals, or anus. Outbreaks can come and go.
Symptoms
Painful blisters that may break open and crust
Tingling, itching, or burning before an outbreak
Fever or swollen glands during first outbreak
Testing
Swab test on a visible sore during an active breakout for best results. Blood base test can be used to check for past infection but cannot detect active virus breakout.
Treatment
No cure, but antiviral medication can reduce outbreaks, ease symptoms, and lower the chance of transmission to partners.
HIV
Syphilis
Herpes (HSV)
What it looks like
HIV attacks the immune system. Many people have no symptoms for years after infection, which is why testing is so important.
Symptoms

Fatigue or body aches
Rash
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Later Symptoms (without treatment)
Significant weight loss
Recurrent infections
Prolonged fever or diarrhea
Testing
Blood Based Testing with multiple options from quick baseline results to in-depth viral load counts.
Treatment
There’s no cure for HIV, but antiretroviral therapy (ART) allows people with HIV to live long, healthy lives. With daily medication, HIV can become undetectable in the body — meaning it cannot be passed to sexual partners (U=U: Undetectable = Untransmittable).
Syphilis
Syphilis
Syphilis
What it looks like
Begins with a single painless sore (chancre). Without treatment, it progresses through stages that can affect the skin, organs, and nervous system.
Symptoms by stage

Secondary Stage
Rash (often on palms/soles), swollen glands, fever, sore throat
Latent/late stage
Damage to heart, brain, or nervous system if untreated
Testing
Blood Based Testing for antibodies. Required historical results for patient with previous diagnosis to determine new infections.
Treatment
Curable with antibiotics (penicillin is most common). Early treatment is critical to prevent complications.
