What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a virus transmitted through contact with infected blood, which can happen when needles and syringes are shared, during sex, and in other ways.
STI Treatment
Sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) can be caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Regular STI testing and prompt treatment can prevent the spread of STIs in our community.
We offer treatment for:
- Syphilis

- Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
- Trichomoniasis (Trich)
- Herpes simplex
- Genital warts

We provide free treatment for infections based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease & Prevention (CDC). You might not have symptoms if you have an STI. Routine testing is the only way to know if you need treatment.
