What services do we provide?

At our Men's STD Clinic at the Berkeley Free Clinic, we provide the following services to all men. All services are confidential and free.

Education about all STDs, including HIV, and about safer sex and condoms
Routine screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and nonspecific or nongonoccocal urethritis (NSU/NGU) in the absence of symptoms
Testing for syphilis when symptoms (for example, a chancre, sore, or rash) are present
Testing for gonorrhea and NSU/NGU when symptoms (for example, a discharge from the penis or burning when you pee) are present
Testing and treatment of clients who have known contact with gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or Trichomonas vaginalis
Testing for herpes when sores are present. We do not prescribe acyclovir for herpes.
Diagnosis of genital and anal warts on the basis of appearance and treatment with BCA and/or histofreezing
Diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum on the basis of appearance and treatment with BCA
Diagnosis and treatment of pubic lice (crabs) on the basis of finding a louse or nit (egg)
Diagnosis and treatment of scabies based on the characteristic appearance of the rash and the history

We have a handout available on request that contains information about these STDs and HIV.

Note: For us to treat STDs that have been diagnosed elsewhere, we must repeat tests.
