Family Planning Plus

Family Planning clinics, in conjunction with the PA Dept of Health, offers free STD screenings. This screening tests for the 4 STDs that are reportable according to PA state health law. These are: HIV, syphillis, chlamydia and gonorrhea. HIV & syphillis testing is done by a blood draw in your arm. Chlamydia and gonorrhea testing can be done thru either a urine sample or cervical swab (in women).  Typically, the results take about 7 to 10 days. There is an HIV test which does give a result in 15 minutes, however, our clinic does not offer that. The county health department may be able to refer you to a clinic in the area that does offer that.

It is impossible to “test for everything”.  At this time, there is no general test for HPV, and a person may be infected with HPV without showing signs.  Herpes simplex virus 2 (genital herpes) may be detected through a blood test. Other STDs that are tested through blood are Hepatitis B and C.

If you are interested in having STD testing, please call one of our clinics to set up an appointment. The Lewisburg clinic  also offers Herpes and Hepatitis testing at a discounted cost.
