“A lot of times people don’t know they have the disease,” said Michaels who also adds, the average person doesn’t realize they are infected until they visit a doctor for a routine medical check up. Data indicates most cases involve young people and females. He clarifies that female cases are up because females get tested more than men.
To combat this issue, Michaels says the department is utilizing initiatives like “Project Barrier’' to enhance awareness, testing and prevention efforts. The Mobile County Health Department also offers a range of services, from confidential testing for various STDs to HIV screenings. Services are available 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. For more information, call the Southwest Public Health Center at 251-410-4393.
