Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Services

STI services are currently offered by appointment only Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed noon-1 p.m.) and Fridays 8 a.m. to noon. Please call 816-595-4261 to schedule.

STIs are spread through oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Often STIs do not present with any symptoms at all and which is why it is important to get regular testing. STIs can have consequences ranging from mild to serious issues, such as infertility, tubal pregnancy, cancer, and sterility. 
 
Our STI clinic offers confidential, low-cost HIV and STI testing, counseling, and treatment for ages 13 and older. Note: Parental permission is not required for STI testing for teens.

Testing

The Clay County Public Health Center STI clinic tests for:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• HIV
• Syphilis

Please do not urinate for one hour before getting tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

Test results typically take 2-4 business days. Patients will be notified if they are positive or negative. The CCPHC STI clinic offers treatment for all positive test results and contacts for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

How Long to Wait Before STI Testing

For chlamydia and gonorrhea testing, it is important to wait three weeks after a possible exposure to get tested. For HIV testing, it is important to wait at least four weeks after a possible exposure to get tested.

Cost

STI testing is $25. Payment is expected at the time of visit. Self-pay fees will apply as we do not accept health insurance for testing. No one is denied services due to inability to pay. Call 816-595-4261 for additional details or any questions you may have.

Treatment for positive STI cases is provided at no cost.
