Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

Hearing the news that you've contracted an STD can be a devastating blow both physically and emotionally. With all the thoughts racing through your mind, the toughest one to grasp will no doubt be telling your partner the news so they can get tested. If you're having trouble finding the words to say, the National CDC Search allows you to conduct a search of HIV, STD, and Hepatitis testing facilities near you by using your ZIP Code or City, State.
