We offer testing and treatment for all STIs including chancroid, chlamydia, cytomegalovirus, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B virus, herpes, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papilloma virus, pelvic immflamatory disease, pubic lice, scabies, trichomoniasis, and urinary tract infections.

photos Safer Sex

Condoms

Condoms are an effective way to protect you and your partner against STIs, and/or unintended pregnancy. You may visit any PPCC Health Center to purchase condoms for a small fee. Condoms are free for everyone under the age of 18.

What is a Condom?

Condoms are a rubber, plastic, or animal skin sheath worn over the penis during sexual activity. They are 99% proven effective in preventing STIs and/or unintended pregnancy if used correctly.

Vasectomy Referrals

Men who wish to prevent unintended pregnancy may consider a vasectomy. Remember that vasectomies do not prevent against STIs.

PPCC does not perform vasectomies, but will provide vasectomy referrals upon request. Please call one of our Health Centers to obtain vasectomy referral information.

What is a Vasectomy?

Vasectomy is a permanent birth control for men. A vasectomy procedure is a surgical procedure performed by a doctor in which the vasa deferentia tube is regulated to stop producing sperm-containing ejaculatory. This should not affect your ability to ejaculate.

Is Vasectomy Right For Me?

Only you and your doctor can determine if vasectomy is right for you. As vasectomy is a permanent surgical option, it is best to discuss your options with your physician.
