Why STI Testing Matters

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not cause symptoms right away. Without testing and treatment, STIs can lead to serious health problems such as:
  • Chronic illness
  • Infertility
  • Reproductive organ damage
  • Certain cancers
  • Problemas de visión
Early screening helps protect your health and helps prevent the spread of infection to others. When found early, many STIs can be treated or managed with medication. HSNT does offer FREE HIV Screening on Friday mornings from 9:00 am to noon at our Denton Medical Center and HSNT Plano locations. This is truly a screening that if screened positive we then schedule an appointment and conduct a full testing panel. We have an entire website dedicated to Ending the HIV Epidemic.
