Herpes is common! In the United States, about 1 in 6 people between the ages of 14 and 49 have ge***al herpes (HSV2) and about 2/3rds of people have HSV 1 (the virus that causes cold sores).

Symptoms during an outbreak can be annoying and painful but you do not have to suffer. Speak to your healthcare provider or make an appointment at The Centers to talk with a provider about medication options that could work for you.

For the Fulton office, please call 315-598-4740.
For the Oswego/SUNY Oswego office, call 315-342-0888

Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel can help you notice changes, such as lumps, pain, or a difference in breast size. But breast self-exams do not replace regular mammograms! Talk to your health care provider right away if you notice any changes in your breasts. health.ny.gov/diseases/cancer/breast/campaign/

People with an abnormal breast lump should seek medical care, even if the lump does not hurt.
Most breast lumps are not cancer.

Breast lumps that are cancerous are more likely to be successfully treated when they are small and have not spread to nearby lymph nodes.

STIs are common, but treatable! If you notice something unusual, come to us for testing. It's also important to know that many people are asymptomatic, meaning they do not show symptoms, so if you are sexually active, still consider regular STI testing.
