STIs often have no symptoms, so you may not know you have one. But even without symptoms, infections can cause serious health problems and spread to others. It's important to know if you have an STI, so you and your partner(s) can receive treatment. Visit us at Steve's Place at 211 NC-127, Hickory, NC 28602 to talk about our testing options.

In 2020, 374 million new STI infections occurred globally among adults aged 15–49 with 1 of the 4 curable STIs: syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis. Most of these of these could be prevented with the correct use of condoms. Need Condoms? We offer free condoms at our Steve's Place location at 211 NC-127, Hickory, NC 28602. Also, we provide condoms to local agencies. Have questions? Call (828) 999-8744.

In need? Know someone in need? We have free Narcan and Naloxone at our office for those in need. You never know when you may save someones life. Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist. This means that it attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose. But, naloxone has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system, and it is not a treatment for opioid use disorder. Examples of opioids include he**in, fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, and morphine.

"While PrEP is a daily pill that can take around 21 days before it fully protects from HIV, it is not a lifetime commitment—you don’t have to take it forever! PrEP can be used at any time in your life when HIV may be more of a concern for you. What does that mean for you? Questions?

In March
• 214 Overdose Reversal (Narcan) Kits were distributed
• 15 Overdoses successfully reversed

Each kit represents the potential to save a life. When naloxone is available and people know how to use it, overdoses can be reversed and lives can be saved.

We encourage everyone to stay prepared and keep naloxone on hand. You never know when it could make the difference.

🐝 Be prepared. Carry Narcan.
