Getting Tested: Wait, That’s It? That Didn’t Hurt at All
I created this video for a class and my office.

The video was shared with fellow Health Educators across the US as something they could use in their work.
Getting tested for Sexually Transmitted Infections can have several individual barriers to overcome – one of which is the fear that the test will be painful. Though screenings vary with how a sample is taken, most will actually be painless and the only way to know your status is to get tested.
