Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Florida Department of Health in Pasco County

The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention and Control Program works to reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. By providing screening, testing, diagnosis and treatment for infected individuals, the STD program is fighting the war against sexually transmitted diseases one person at a time. Identifying and providing prophylactic treatment and counseling for sexual partners of confirmed cases is another task of the STD program. These roles coupled with increasing the level of public awareness to sexually transmitted diseases describe the role of the STD program within the Florida Department of Health in Pasco County. The program's intervention helps to protect infected individuals, their partners and unborn children from the serious complications that may result from untreated STDs.

Services and information are confidential and available to all residents and visitors seeking care for the prevention and treatment of STDs. Our clinics offer services for a reasonable cost to adults and adolescents, regardless of their citizenship status.
