What if your STI test is positive?
1. Get treated right away. Some clinics offer free or low-cost treatment.
2. Tell your partner(s) so they get tested and treated too.
3. Get retested three months after completing treatment.
Have you heard about PrEP? PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a way to help prevent HIV by taking one pill once a day. Go to PrEP Maryland to learn more or to find a healthcare provider near you.
Need condoms? Using condoms correctly every time you have sex is one way to protect yourself and your partner(s) from STIs and HIV. Some organizations offer free or reduced price condoms.
This project is funded through the Indian Health Service with backing from the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund.
