Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does Montana Men's Clinic test for STIs?

Testing for STIs is now generally painless! We can test a variety of ways. Chlamydia and gonorrhea tests can consist of either a urine sample or a swab of the infected area. Most other STI tests require a blood test.

What is curable and what is not?

Bacterial infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are curable. Viral infections like HIV, hepatitis B, herpes and HPV are not curable. The symptoms of these viruses can go away, but are always present in the body.
