From Susana Banks, Wesleyan University
There will be a free testing clinic for sexually transmitted diseases on Thursday, April 14th at the Green Street Arts Center, 10am to 2pm. The testing will be done by the Department of Public Health. Testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and HIV will be available completely free and confidential and open to all. Light refreshments will be provided.
Going to a Free STD Testing Center sometimes carries a negative stigma. People will know why you are there which takes away from any type of confidentiality. There are internet-based websites that offer affordable STD and other lab testing services such as Peace of Mind Lab Testing www.PomLabTest.com. These companies contract with Labcorp and send you to a Labcorp Patient Service Center and results come back within 2-3 business days. When you go to Labcorp the person sitting next to you might be there for a cholesterol test. This type of services can be ordered anonymously as well which removes any negative stigma that you are going to a STD clinic. Just offering people another option. Thanks for your time and consideration.
