Kansas City STD Testing

Finding private STD testing in Kansas City, Missouri, can be a difficult or scary experience. According to the local government, the city has seen a sharp increase in the number of reported cases of STDs over the past few years. This troubling trend highlights the need for increased awareness, education, and access to STD testing.

In 2019, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reported 14,183 cases of chlamydia, 4,165 cases of gonorrhea, and 164 cases of syphilis in Kansas City. These numbers are up from the previous year and represent a significant public health issue. Many people may be unaware that they have an STD, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

Fortunately, Priority STD Testing offers numerous private testing locations throughout the Kansas City area. While other local health clinics, community health centers, and healthcare providers provide testing options, they are not confidential and often do not offer comprehensive STD panels.
