Planned Parenthood is prepared to care for those patients displaced by St. Charles County’s decision to stop offering STD testing and treatment at its county health facility,
Planned Parenthood has six health centers in the St. Louis area, including St. Peters and Florissant, which may be much more convenient for St. Charles County residents than going to St. Louis County’s health clinics.
Anyone under 25-years of age can get free testing for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Those under 25 can also receive free treatment for themselves and their partners for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Those 25 and over may be eligible for reduced-cost testing and treatment.
Planned Parenthood also accepts most types of insurance, including Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act marketplace plans.
The St. Louis/Southwest Missouri Planned Parenthood affiliate currently conducts more than 60,000 STI tests each year, making them an area leader in the prevention of sexually-transmitted infections and diseases.
Patients can make appointments online at http://www.plannedparenthood.org/book or by phone at 1-800-230- 7526.
