Step 2.STI Treatment

The health department will notify you if you test positive for a sexually transmitted infection and connect you to treatment available for you and for your sexual partner(s).

Step 3.Costs

There is a fee for STI screenings for gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis. Additional charges may apply for other tests. Cost for STI treatment may vary depending on the type of treatment needed. The Health Department accepts cash, checks, credit, or debit cards and accepts most insurance for payment. Call (913) 573-8855 for current pricing.

PrEP

Step 1.What is PrEP?

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medicine that greatly reduces your chance of getting HIV. PrEP is for people without HIV who may be exposed to HIV through sexual activity or injection drug use.

Step 2.What to Expect

At your first visit, a healthcare provider in our clinic will discuss your healthcare needs and next steps to start PrEP. You will need to have lab testing done before you start PrEP. The lab testing is done during your first visit. You will also get tested every three months while you are on PrEP.

Step 3.Cost

There will be a fee every three months to get lab work done (fee of $50 as of 2024). The cost of prescription medication varies. Call (913) 573-8855 for current pricing.
