Allen County Public Health will have a special testing opportunity for individuals wanting to be tested for STI’s (Sexually Transmitted Infections) on Friday, February 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This event will be held at the health department, located at 219 E. Market Street, Lima. This is a walk-in clinic. No appointment is needed.

This testing will be free for individuals ages 13-39. Individuals over 40 should call for special pricing. No one will be turned away for their inability to pay. Services will be available while testing supplies last.

“Individuals with STI’s do not always have symptoms, so it is important to be tested so that you know your status,” said Deb Roberts, Assistant Director of Nursing.

In addition to testing, education regarding STD prevention and treatment, follow-up management and counseling will be provided by trained staff.
