STD Quiz – Are you at Risk?

November 22, 2014

No one wants to talk about STDs.

It can be an uncomfortable, embarrassing topic. We get that. But it’s also one that can be life changing and even deadly, so we’re okay with a little discomfort and embarrassment. Why? Because statistics tell us that 1 in 2 sexually active teens will contract a STD by the time they are 25. That’s right, half. How? Because many won’t know they even have a STD and will pass it on to each new partner.


That’s why it’s so important to get testing and treatment if you’re at risk. At Collage, we want to take the discomfort and embarrassment out of the process. We want you to have a place where you can ask questions and get the answers you need. We want to provide testing and treatment that puts your overall health first and foremost. So take this STD quiz and find out if you’re at risk.


STD Quiz

  1. Have you been diagnosed with a STD such as Chlamydia or Gonorrhea in the past 2 years?
  2. Have you had vaginal sex in the past 12 months?
  3. Have you had oral sex in the past 12 months?
  4. Have you had anal sex in the past 12 months?
  5. If yes to questions 2, 3, or 4, has it been more than 12 months since you had a STD test?
  6. Have you had multiple sex partners?
  7. Have you exchanged bodily fluids: semen, vaginal fluids, or blood?
  8. Have you touched your sex organs after touching your partner’s sex organs?

 

If you answered yes to one or more of the questions in the STD quiz, you’re at risk for having a STD. If you answered no, you may still be at a lower risk. STDs can also be transmitted through indirect sexual contact between partners such as skin-to-skin contact. They can also be transferred through kissing if one partner has been infected after oral sex.


While condoms can provide some protection for a few STDs, they aren’t 100% effective for any. If you’ve been sexually active, the only to know for sure whether you have a STD is to get tested.


STD Testing and Treatment

Collage is offers testing and treatment for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, two of the most common STDs. If you think you may be at risk we recommend refraining from any sexual contact until you have been tested and cleared. Please contact us to talk about testing options or to schedule an appointment.

Has Nebraska Banned Abortion Completely After the 2024 Election?

January 2, 2025
Following the 2024 election, many people have questions about Nebraska's abortion laws and whether the state has enacted a complete ban. Abortion is not entirely banned in Nebraska. A proposed measure to add abortion to the state constitution failed during the 2024 election, while a separate measure that enshrined the current 12-week ban passed. What is the Law? The state currently allows abortion up to 12 weeks but with specific exceptions for certain circumstances. These exceptions include: Cases of rape or incest. Medical emergencies where the life of the mother is at risk or where continuing the pregnancy would result in irreversible physical harm. The legislation aims to balance restrictions with considerations for the health and safety of women under exceptional circumstances. What Does This Mean for Women in Nebraska? For women facing an unexpected pregnancy, Nebraska’s current abortion laws mean you have to be aware of the status of your pregnancy, especially for those who may not meet the legal exceptions. It’s important to seek timely medical confirmation of your pregnancy to understand your options. If you are unsure about how far along you are or have concerns about your pregnancy, seeking an ultrasound and professional advice can help clarify your situation and determine your next steps.
