Where To Go To Find Treatment
Where to go:
Your regular medical practitioner should be your first choice for STD care, but if you don't have insurance or are uncomfortable seeing your regular practitioner, try one of these options.
1. A medical specialist, i.e. a gynecologist
2. Local health departments. Many counties run a free or sliding scale STD clinic for local residents. Search online for the name of your county and "health department" to find your local STD clinic.
3. Planned Parenthood. An excellent resource for STD treatment, prices are scaled to what you can afford.
4. Public hospitals. Many hospitals run a specialized STD clinic.
5. Urgent care clinics. In these clinics, you can often get treated faster than making a doctor?s appointment. Many take insurance. And it?s cheaper than going to the ER.
