One of the National Health Observances in March is Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness. Dr. John Abroon is pleased to offer our female patients Sexually Transmitted Diseases Testing to provide critical healthcare. In recent years, Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness has become an increasingly critical topic, underlining the importance of education, prevention and access to testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
HIV/AIDS Awareness
Awareness campaigns aimed at women and girls are crucial for several reasons. First, they provide life-saving information about how HIV/AIDS and other STDs are transmitted and can be prevented. Knowledge about the use of condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the importance of regular testing can empower females to take control of their sexual health. Secondly, these campaigns can help destigmatize HIV/AIDS and STDs, encouraging more people to get tested and seek treatment without fear of judgment or ostracization.
STD Testing
Testing for STDs, including HIV, is a critical component of preventive healthcare. Early detection through testing can lead to timely treatment, reducing the risk of transmission and the severity of the disease. Unfortunately, many women and girls do not have easy access to STD testing due to financial constraints, lack of available services or fear of stigma. Expanding access to confidential and affordable testing services is essential.
Our dedicated internist, Dr. John Abroon, offers specialized and confidential STD Testing services, aimed at promoting sexual health across all backgrounds. With state-of-the-art facilities and a commitment to patient care, he provides discreet and accurate testing for a range of STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV. Dr. Abroon emphasizes compassion and empathy in the testing process, with a focus on confidentiality. His team ensures privacy and adherence to legal protocols, guiding our patients through testing options based on individual needs. If you reside in New York’s Upper East Side or around the Tri-State area and are looking for STD testing, we invite you to schedule testing. Please call 212-288-0900 today!
