STD Testing and Treatment Referrals
It’s crucial to be tested for STDs before an abortion. Any procedure involving the uterus, such as abortion, could cause an undiagnosed infection to spread to the reproductive organs.[1]
STDs often don’t cause any symptoms, but they can cause serious problems both now and in the future. When left untreated, certain STDs (such as gonorrhea and chlamydia) can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs.[2] PID is known to increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy and even infertility.[3,4]
Don’t wait to get tested. Hope for Life Pregnancy Center provides free referrals for STD testing and treatment, so you can protect your health.
