Service
If you think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection, getting tested early is the most useful thing you can do. We provide clear information and connect you to licensed local providers for testing and treatment.
People often ask us: Does my partner need to be tested too? Can I be tested without a parent knowing? How long does it take for an infection to show up on a test? What does treatment look like? We can help you think these through and point you to the right place.
Massachusetts has a network of licensed clinics that offer free or low-cost STI testing. We refer locally to providers in Haverhill, Lawrence, Lowell, and the broader Merrimack Valley.

Yes. Anything you share with us stays between you and our team. We do not share information without your permission.
