It's STD Awareness Week!

Did you know, many STIs often have no symptoms? That’s why it's important to get yourself tested!

Routine screening is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health. Annual testing is recommended for many, with more frequent testing for those at higher risk.

Testing is quick, simple, and confidential.

Learn more at southhealthdistrict.com/stiawareness or stop by your local health department to get tested.
