Birth Control Methods Offered
Nexplanon - A very effective contraceptive method, a tiny rod inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It prevents pregnancy for three years. Pretty cool, huh?
IUDs - There are two types of the very effective IUDs, one is hormonal and the other is non-hormonal. Both are placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Depending on the type chosen, IUDs can prevent pregnancy for three to ten years.
Depo-Provera - Depo-Provera is a shot that prevents pregnancy for three months. So every three months, you will need another shot to avoid becoming pregnant.
Contraceptive Ring - A small flexible ring inserted into the vagina every three weeks to prevent pregnancy.
Birth Control Pills - These have been around for over 60 years! You take one pill at the same time every day to prevent pregnancy.
Condoms - With hundreds of different shapes, sizes , and brands, condoms are the most popular form of birth control. Condoms are offered for free at all of our offices. Stop by at any time to pick up as many as you need, no questions asked.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
*Chlamydia - A common STI that can infect any sexually active person. Routine testing is important because a person may not have any symptoms of the infection. Chlamydia is treatable, if left untreated it can make it difficult to become pregnant. We can test for chlamydia.
*Gonorrhea - A common STI that can infect any sexually active person. Routine testing is important because a person may not have any symptoms of the infection. Gonorrhea is treatable, if left untreated it may cause complications. We can test for gonorrhea.
Trichomoniasis - A common STI that can infect any sexually active person. Women may experience vaginal symptoms while men may not have any symptoms.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - Nearly all sexually active men and women get HPV in their lifetime. Most of the time it goes away on its own, but when it doesn't it can cause serious health problems, including cancer.
​
Herpes - About one of every six people age 14-49 in the United States has Genital Herpes. It can be spread through vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone with the disease even if there are no physical signs of it.
​
**Syphilis - Can have very serious complications if not treated, but is easily treated and cured.
