→Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) /Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Testing
*Risky behaviors and prevention practices
Females (at least -- perhaps males also) can get STD tests for free, without parental notification. This free test is for the three most common STDs, including HIV. Males can receive a free penile swab test which detects Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Fre HIV tests are available as well. Urine testing is available but for the cost of about $80 which may or may not be covered by your insurance plan.
Testing for other diseases and infections is availiable but lab work must be sent to North Adams Regional Hospital and lab fees will apply. However, don't let this deter you, because your insurance may cover it if deemed "medically necessary". It's worth it to pay.
