Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) are infections caused by either bacteria or viruses. They are spread through different types of sexual contact. You may feel embarrassed about having a sexually transmitted disease, and it may be hard for you to go to a provider or clinic for help. However, you and your partner MUST receive treatment for the STD; it's the only way you can maintain your health, prevent re-infection, and stop the spread of disease. |
The STD Clinic offers confidential, walk-in testing during our regularly scheduled STD Clinic hours.
Condoms are available free of charge during normal business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:00 - 5:00 PM

Take Control Campaign
The City of Racine Public Health Department is introducing its "Take Control: Your Body, Your Health " campaign, a public awareness campaign aimed to reduce the burden of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) the Racine community.
Although the acquisition of STDs is easily preventable through the proper use of condoms, it is difficult to reach all parts of the population to ensure individuals have the proper education and tools available to them. Therefore this campaign incorporates many venues and partnerships to connect with individuals who may need the services of the City of Racine Public Health Department.
The "Take Control " campaign is visible through:
- Bowls of FREE condoms at local barbershops
