Regular STD testing is a key part of staying healthy and protecting partners. Many sexually transmitted infections are asymptomatic—meaning you can have an infection without visible symptoms—so routine screening is recommended. The CDC advises annual testing for sexually active people, more frequently for those with multiple partners, new partners, or other risk factors. In Northwest Louisiana, chlamydia and gonorrhea remain common in young adults, and local clinics have seen steady demand for confidential testing. Early detection prevents long-term complications such as infertility, liver disease from hepatitis, and HIV progression. Our Haughton services include FDA-approved tests processed in CLIA-certified labs so results are medically reliable. Whether you live in Highland Oaks, Brookwood, or commute from nearby Bossier City, getting tested is simple, private, and often completed in a single visit. Normalizing STI screening reduces stigma—testing is a routine health step, like a dental check or blood pressure screening. If you have symptoms, a new partner, or concerns after exposure, our confidential STD testing in Haughton makes it easy to know your status and get prompt care.
