Information for Providers/Clinicians
Clinical services
The State of Vermont operates a sexually-transmitted disease (STD) control and prevention project through a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These funds provide diagnostic, treatment and epidemiological services for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.
Clinical services are administered through contracts with private health care providers and family planning clinics located throughout Vermont. These services include testing, treatment, partner notification, and disease investigation activities on high priority cases for residents in all geographic regions of the state.
Health care providers may obtain medications for the treatment of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis free of charge as well as accessing the expertise of our Infectious Disease medical consultant through the program.
