Free Teen STI Testing Clinic Coming To Delaware County

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Health officials in Delaware County are offering specialized clinics at which teenagers can be discretely tested for sexually transmitted infections.

The Delaware County Health Department on May 29 will open its new Teen STI Clinics.

The clinics will run from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every other Tuesday at the Wellness Center at Chester, 151 W. Fifth St. in Chester.

Teen STI clinics are available on a walk-in basis and do not require appointments.

"At the DCHD Teen Clinic, teenagers will find a supportive environment where their health and well- being are our paramount concerns," Delaware County Health Department Director Melissa Lyon said. "We invite teenagers to understand the importance of sexual health by visiting DCHD’s Teen STI Clinics for information, testing, and free condoms. Your health is our priority, and DCHD is committed to assisting you every step of the way."

These teen clinics will offer sexual health information, free condoms, and confidential STI testing services by the county health department's team of healthcare professionals.

The department is working to create a welcoming environment where teens can feel comfortable and at ease during their visit.

Officials hope the clinics will help empower young people with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions about their sexual health.

The health department's regular STI/HIV clinic regular hours are available for all residents as posted on DCHD’s website online here.
