Many resources are available for information and treatment. An online public outreach project called UNSPEAKABLE, (http://www.unspeakable.com) enables users to identify their own risk for STDs, test their knowledge about different kinds of STDs, and receive information on the latest treatments. Users access this sensitive information in a confidential setting. There are a variety of different pages on the site, including a database of nearly 4,000 STD clinics around the country and a section on frequently asked questions (FAQs).
The American Social Health Association (a voluntary organization dedicated to the prevention and control of STDs) operates the National Sexually Transmitted Disease Hotline under contract with the Centers for Disease Control. Trained counselors are available to answer questions about all STDs. Call the ASHA Hotline at 1-800-227-8922.
