The goal of the Fairfax County Health Department's STI program is to prevent the spread of the diseases transmitted sexually in the community by identifying illness, providing treatment and taking actions to prevent the spread of disease.
STI Services
The Health Department provides a range of STI services, including testing, medications, counseling, oversight of treatment and a wide range of educational efforts focused on prevention of the spread of STIs.
