STD testing to become slightly more tolerable in KCMO

Responding to complaints about lengthy wait times, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, is offering a new walk-in service for people who want to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases.

The Health Department invites sexually active citizens who are not experiencing burning sensations or other symptoms to simply show up at the clinic at 2400 Troost Avenue for testing. The clinic is able to make the walk-in service available because symptom-free individuals do not need to undergo a physical exam, one of the unfortunate consequences of a prosperous social life.
