Alert

This web page contains HIV/STI prevention messages that may not be appropriate for all audiences. If you are not seeking such information or may be offended by such materials, please exit this page.

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) show no signs or symptoms. It is important if you’re sexually active to know your STI and HIV status. Public Health nurses offer a safe place for education on sexual health and protection. Free and confidential testing, treatment, and referrals are available for HIV and STIs. Free safe sex supplies and confidential pregnancy tests are available at the public health office and in the community. For education or testing information, contact us at 712-242-1155.

Access Granted

Access Granted, an initiative of the Women’s Fund of Omaha, is a collaboration of health care providers committed to increasing barrier-free access to sexual and reproductive health care (including free STI testing and treatment, free condoms and low-cost emergency contraception), resources and education for all genders ages 15 to 24 throughout Nebraska and in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.

More information about Access Granted, including an interactive map displaying where services can be accessed, is available on their website. Hit the “Contact Us” tab if you have any further questions.

If you've been recently diagnosed with an STI, it’s important to let your recent sexual partner(s) know that they might be at risk. Tell Your Partner is a website that enables you to share this information anonymously. Studies have shown that anonymous notification options improve the rate of partner notification, which contributes to the successful detection, diagnosis and treatment of transmitted infections. Tap on the Tell your Partner button below to learn more.
