Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
STIs are the most commonly reported diseases in Whitman County. Many are curable, others are treatable, all are preventable. Most people with STIs don't have obvious symptoms, but without treatment they can spread disease and possibly develop serious, lifelong complications.
Featured Initiatives
Love hurts, but it doesn't have to sting, ooze, bleed, smell, burn, itch, swell, or blister. Get tested and stay protected from STIs.

STI Prevention, Testing & Treatment
Protect Yourself
To prevent infection effectively, consider several strategies:
- Abstinence is the most reliable method
- Vaccination for hepatitis B and HPV is recommended
- Reducing sexual partners and practicing mutual monogamy with open communication
- Using male latex condoms consistently and correctly during sexual activity
- For those with latex allergies, non-latex condoms can be used, although they have slightly higher breakage rates, while natural membrane condoms are not recommended for STI prevention.
