STI Testing at Metropolitan Family Planning.
STI Testing at Metropolitan Family Planning: Why It’s Important
At MFPC, we believe that reproductive health is more than just birth control or annual exams. It’s about comprehensive care, including STI testing. If you’re already coming in for a gyn visit, adding STI screening is one of the easiest and smartest steps you can take to protect your health.
Here’s why STI testing during gyn visits matters—and how MFPC makes it easy and confidential across all of our Maryland clinics.
STI Testing at Metropolitan Family Planning Matters
Sexually transmitted infections are common, often silent, and treatable when caught early. Many STIs—including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV—can show no symptoms at all but still lead to long-term health issues like pelvic inflammatory disease or infertility.
By adding STI testing to your gynecology appointment, you’re staying proactive, informed, and in control.
Who Should Get Tested?
MFPC follows CDC guidance:
- Anyone under 25 who is sexually active should be tested yearly
- Anyone with new or multiple partners
- People with symptoms like unusual discharge, burning, or sores
- Pregnant people
- Anyone who wants peace of mind
Whether you’re in College Park, Rockville, or Silver Spring, our providers can walk you through what tests are right for you.
