Do positive STD and HIV results get reported?

Yes, we are required by state law to report positive STD results to your local health department. This reporting is conducted securely using name-based reporting, which includes only your name and test result. Access to this information is strictly limited to authorized state public health personnel.

This process helps monitor and track STD rates within your state. Once reported, the state health department removes all identifiable information and shares only the positive result with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for broader public health monitoring and analysis.
