Sexually Transmitted Infections

At CornerHealth Urgent Care, we offer confidential and comprehensive testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV, Hepatitis (A, B, and C), Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomonas, and Syphilis.

You will have the opportunity to discuss your condition with Robin Black, a compassionate Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of experience. She provides detailed evaluations, tailored advice, and prescriptions if necessary, all within our facility. Our approach prioritizes your comfort and privacy, providing accurate results and compassionate care for your sexual health and well-being.
