What Is an STI?
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are infections passed from one person to another during sex. STI symptoms can include unusual discharge, itching, pain during sex, or burning when you pee. Many people don’t notice any symptoms at all, and if they do, they’re very mild.
Even without symptoms, you can pass an STI to someone else. That’s why it’s so important to get tested, especially if you’ve had sex without a condom. An untreated STI can spread to others and may lead to long-term health problems.

What Women Are Saying
about Alcove Health on Google Reviews
You’re a good mom. You may be planning to get an abortion for your other kids. To put them first. To make sure you can focus on them.
We understand the fear that comes with a pregnancy after a loss. We know you’re making a big decision while still experiencing a loss in your past.
As a registered nurse trained in limited OB sonography, I think the most important piece of information for women to know is if the pregnancy is in the uterus. If the pregnancy is not in the uterus, no abortion procedure is going to end that pregnancy.
Scared you’ll regret an abortion? You’re not alone. There are plenty of women who find themselves distressed by thoughts that seem to interfere with the ability to land on a pregnancy decision.
