Does Teen Clinic offer STI testing, or is it only for Birth Control?
Yes! Teen Clinic does do STI testing. We offer most STI testing by appointment only. HIV testing is offered once a month on a first come, first serve basis It is important to get tested because most STIs show little or even no symptoms at all.
What if I don’t have a job, can I still come to Teen Clinic?
Yes Teen Clinic is completely FREE! We do accept and appreciate donations. Your donation keeps Teen Clinic open.
Why is Teen Clinic free?
Due to community funding, we are able to waive service fees at Teen Clinic. We understand that most teens don’t have extra money and we want you to focus on being healthy without worrying about the costs.
What if I am pregnant, what should I do?
Teen Clinic has confidential, non-directive decision counseling so you can sit down and talk to somebody about all of your thoughts and feelings and decide what the best thing is for you to do. For more information on Pregnancy and Parenting teens, click here.
Is it really confidential?
Yes! Colorado law states that we keep all our patients health information private and confidential, regardless of age. You don’t need a parent or guardian’s permission to get birth control. Any care you receive at Teen Clinic cannot be shared with anyone. The only time we have to break confidentiality is if a patient under 18 reports an incident of sexual assault or abuse. In these cases we are mandatory reporters (just like your teachers and counselors). If we have to report, we can provide support and care throughout the process.
