Know your status, Lyon.
Why is this a priority?
Sexual health is an important but underdiscussed part of our community's health. Recent data shows that STIs affect Lyon County residents of all ages, with chlamydia particularly impacting young adults aged 15-29, and syphilis cases rising among those over 30. Many STIs show no early symptoms, which is why regular testing is crucial for maintaining your health and the health of your partners. By addressing sexual health and helping you know your status, we help create a stronger, healthier community where everyone can liver better.
How we’re helping
We provide confidential testing, treatment, and education through partnerships with the Nevada Department of Public & Behavioral Health.

What you can do
Taking care of your sexual health is an important part of living better. Here are some ways you can protect yourself and our community:
- Get tested regularly because early detection makes a difference
- Practice safer sex and use protection
- Have open conversations with partners about sexual health
- Seek prompt treatment if you or a partner test positive.
For more info, visit cdc.gov for comprehensive resources on STI prevention, testing, and treatment. Remember, starting a conversation about sexual health might feel challenging and awkward, but your health and the health of your partners is worth it.
