Why Testing Matters Testing is a crucial aspect of maintaining your overall well-being. According to the CDC, anyone between the ages of 12-65 who is sexually active should undergo testing for HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) at least once in their lifetime. However, the frequency of testing may vary based on individual behavior.
Immediate Action is Vital If you suspect you may have been exposed to HIV or any other sexually transmitted infection, seeking immediate medical care is essential. Taking prompt action can significantly impact your health outcome, and our team is here to support you through the process.
Financial Accessibility We understand that financial considerations should not be a barrier to accessing essential testing services. At Open Door Health Center, we accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. For those who may not fit into these categories, we offer flexible payment options, including sliding scale fees or flat rates for eligible individuals. Additionally, designated days and locations provide free comprehensive testing for the public, and high-risk individuals may qualify for fee-based testing through our outreach team at any time.
Comprehensive Care and Counseling Beyond testing, Open Door Health Center is committed to providing comprehensive care. Our services include diagnosis, treatment, education, and risk reduction counseling. We believe in addressing not only the physical aspects of health but also the holistic well-being of our community.
