STD Clinics in West Des Moines, Iowa
Posted on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 at 8:00 AMHere’s the question:
I cant seem to find out some info. I need to get STD tested and cant find prices and places to go. I live in West Des Moines and think i have HPV, but would like some prices on tests. Any links with the info i need? Thanks for all your help.
Here’s what I think:
You might try calling the Centers for Disease Control to see if they have any recommendations. Maybe you can pick up your local telephone book and check to see if you have any free county health services. A lot of the times if you can find a free HIV clinic, you might be able to get accurate STD testing. You can also try making an appointment to see an infectious disease specialist OR even your family doctor.
Please let us know how it works out for you. If there is anybody that lives in Des Moines, Iowa that would like to make a recommendation as to where a person can get tested for STI’s, please leave a comment.
You can also try your local Planned Parenthood.
Calling 1-800-CDC-INFO can connect you with an operator who will use your zip code to locate testing facilitites in your area. They can also give you additional information on STDs.
Check out the Polk County Health Department: http://www.polkcountyiowa.gov/Health/pages/stdExam.aspx
At this site, you can enter your zip code on the left to find Planned Parenthood health centers in your area: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/greater-iowa/index.htm
Sorry. Make that enter your ZIP code on the RIGHT in the Planned Parenthood site, not the left. :)
