Gilliam County Public Health provides confidential evaluation and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are passed from person to person through vaginal, anal and oral sex. Many people with an STD have no signs of symptoms of the infection. The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested. Some STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, can be cured. Other STDs have no cure but can be managed with treatment. Untreated STDs can cause serious health complications, and some can be passed to a baby during pregnancy. The STD Program provides support for testing and treatment of individuals and their partners.
