Sexual Health Should Never Be Awkward

Sex happens. Questions, concerns, and occasional worries happen too. Whether you are dating, exploring, in a new relationship, or working in nightlife, staying proactive with sexual health is a smart move that protects you and your partner.

At Total Family Care Las Vegas, we provide same-day, confidential STI testing and treatment in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Why STI Testing Matters More in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a high-contact city:

• Tourism and nightlife culture
• Dating apps and casual encounters
• Exposure to multiple partners
• Travel-related transmission risks

Even with protection, STIs are more common than most people think, and many do not show symptoms right away.

STIs often show no symptoms at all, including:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• HIV in early stage
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Syphilis (initial stage)
• Herpes between flare-ups

The only way to know your status is to get tested.

When Should You Get Tested?

You do not have to feel sick to need testing.

Get tested if:

• You have a new partner
• You have multiple or casual partners
• A partner disclosed an infection
• A condom slipped or broke
• You have symptoms that concern you
• You just want peace of mind

Routine screening is recommended at least twice yearly, and every 3 months if sexually active with new partners.

In Men:

• Burning during urination
