Free Testing Services for Everyone

Anyone can make an appointment for free and confidential testing for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis C during these times:

• Monday from 8:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.
• Tuesday-Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
• Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

We also offer free Chlamydia and Gonorrhea screenings for people who do not have insurance.  Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis can be transmitted through anal, oral, and vaginal sex. Therefore, it’s important to use anal and oral swab tests, as well as a urine test to identify Chlamydia or Gonorrhea infections, and a finger-prick blood test to identify Syphilis infections.

While GCCHC receives grant funds to provide testing services, we do not receive any funding to provide medical treatment for STIs. However, we do accept most insurance plans. If you don't have health insurance, we have a Benefits Specialist who can assist you in obtaining health coverage. We are not a free clinic; however, we offer low-cost medical treatment for those people who do not have health insurance.
