Sexually transmitted diseases are a common health concern in Joplin, Missouri. In recent years, STD rates have increased, making it essential for individuals to get tested and treated as soon as possible to prevent the further spread of these infections.

According to data from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, there were 679 reported cases of chlamydia, 135 cases of gonorrhea, and 13 cases of syphilis in Jasper County, which includes Joplin, in 2020. These numbers indicate a significant increase from the previous year, highlighting the need for increased testing and education about safe sexual practices.

The CDC recommends that sexually active individuals get tested for STDs at least once a year or more frequently if they have multiple sexual partners.

It is important to remember that many STDs may not show any symptoms, so getting tested regularly is crucial for maintaining sexual health. Early diagnosis and treatment of STDs can help prevent long-term health consequences and reduce the spread of infection to others.

Our Testimonials

Quick and painless

I was surprised when I didn't need to provide a swab, in the past I've had to go through that uncomfortable experience. Just a routine blood and urine draw was all that was needed!

Fast, simple, secure.

Ordered online and got tested in 20 minutes. Results were online the next day, couldn't ask for more!

Saturday options

I couldn't get in during the week due to school, but was able to be seen over the weekend when I had some free time. Very convenient.

Clean and private location

The location I went to was very organized and discreet. It was a routine lab with no indication of being an "STD clinic".
