There is no vaccine or treat- ment that makes you immune from ever catching them again. There are a couple of options if you feel you should get tested. Many of you will have a family doctor or nurse practitioner that you could go to for testing. The Health Unit also offers confidential testing and treatment with no age lim- its or restrictions. No need to go to an emergency room! If you have an STI and are unsure how to tell current or potential partners, we can give you advice. If you have an STI and are uncomfortable telling past partners who may have been affected, we will let them know without identifying you. Why does the Huron County Health Unit offer all of this? It is public health's responsibility to track reportable infectious dis- eases in the population, including some STIs. We are mandated to keep people healthy and safe, and that includes providing timely STI testing and treatment for all ages.
