STI Testing WITHOUT Symptoms

For those who have no symptoms or known exposure, we provide screening for syphilis, HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia without seeing a provider.  This type of screening is often referred to as a "worried well" appointment, designed for those who simply want to check their status for peace of mind. Please follow the instructions below:

Log into healthconnection.ou.edu and schedule choosing the option without a provider's visit.  Be sure to complete the online STI Screening form. When you check in for your appointment, you will meet with a nurse and then be sent to the laboratory for specimen collection.

STI Testing WITH Symptoms or Known Exposure

If you have any symptoms, a known exposure, or want to be tested for additional STIs, you must make an appointment with a provider. Log into  healthconnection.ou.edu and choose the option for a provider visit!

X-ray orders from doctors outside of our facility may be brought in or faxed (preferred) to (405) 325-1190.  We will send the x-ray to the ordering doctor. You must then consult with the ordering doctor about your results.
