Planned parenthood- STDs?
I found out that my bf has chlamydia, therefore I must have it. I'm 18. Just dropped out of college. I don't have that much money. No health insurance. No job. I'm not even sure what to do but go to planned parenthood. I read somewhere that I'd have to show income or something. Could someone just tell me what to do. What to expect or do when I go there. I've never even been to a hospital so I am totally clueless right now.

To get the free or discounted services from Planned Parenthood, you will be asked to show proof of income. If you can't provide the proof they will still provide the services. Your local health department may have an STD clinic also.
You can call Planned Parenthood and ask what they require as proof of income. You can also check the website hivtest.org to find a list of free testing sites in your area. Just enter your ZIP code. Testing sites will usually talk to you about your risk factors, then do testing--blood, urine, and/or genital swabs, depending on the testing you request.
