All services are available throughout the state. Local health departments, hospitals, private clinics and some doctors' offices also provide educational programs on these and other medical subjects. Advice on family planning, contraception and infertility, as well as direct clinic services, are available statewide. Charges for these services are based on your ability to pay and a moderately detailed financial history will be required. Check with your district health department for the availability of services and their costs.
Pregnancy testing is also available.
When tests are positive, referrals for prenatal care are made. Most sexually transmitted diseases are treatable and many are completely curable with antibiotics. Some, such as herpes, can be treated to decrease symptoms and complications but cannot be completely cured. If you believe you may have such an infection or may possibly have been exposed to such an infection, contact your district health department outpatient clinic or your private physician for information, advice and services as necessary. In Idaho, any individual 14 years of age or older can be treated for a communicable disease without parental notification.
