RESPECT Clinic

Comprehensive STI care

The RESPECT Clinic provides a full range of services related to sexually transmitted infections (STI), including testing, treatment, preventive medications, and vaccinations. Whether you want regular STI screening or you have symptoms, the RESPECT Clinic can address your needs.

We provide free STI testing and treatment for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas. You have the option to self-collect for testing of all exposed sites, including urine, vagina, throat, and rectum.

We also have free blood tests for HIV, syphilis, and when indicated, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Treatment for syphilis infections is also free while referrals for treatment of HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are available. Point-of-care HIV testing where you can receive same-night results is also available as is STI risk reduction counseling and free condoms.

RESPECT Clinic services are available to ALL patients regardless of income or insurance status. No referrals are necessary to be seen in our clinic. We have access to telehealth-certified interpreters in most languages, including American Sign Language, to provide care for those who are non-English speaking.

Scheduling an appointment is highly encouraged to ensure that you will be seen. This can be done by calling 402-559-4015 and asking for the RESPECT Clinic. A limited number of walk-in patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additional HIV/STI Preventive Services

HIV PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) 

We prescribe HIV PrEP medications to reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV, including:  

1) Daily Oral HIV PrEP; 2) On Demand 2-1-1 Oral HIV PrEP; and 3) 6-Month Injectable HIV PrEP. Specially trained students serve as PrEP Navigators to assist you in obtaining and successfully maintaining your HIV PrEP coverage.

The clinic performs all routine lab testing required for HIV PrEP at no cost, but we do submit HIV PrEP prescriptions to insurance when available. Oral HIV PrEP medications are usually covered by insurance at no cost to you when we prescribe the generic medication. If you do not have health insurance, we will cover the cost when generic oral HIV PrEP prescriptions are sent to our pharmacy.

Coverage of the 6-month injectable HIV PrEP medication varies by insurance provider, but financial assistance may be available through a co-pay savings program. If you are interested in this option, please contact your insurance provider to see if you are covered and if you are, the type of coverage that you have. For those without insurance who meet income guidelines and do not qualify for government sponsored insurance, a medication assistance program may cover the cost of injectable HIV PrEP.

STI Doxy PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) 

We also prescribe doxycycline to eligible patients to help reduce syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea infections by about two-thirds. When Doxy PEP prescriptions are sent to our pharmacy, the cost of this medication is covered by the clinic.

 

STI-Related Vaccinations 

Free vaccinations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV), and several other vaccinations are available through our pharmacy. Mpox vaccinations are not available at our clinic, but we can assist with referrals to community resources.

 

HIV PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) 

HIV PEP is an emergency medication that must be started within 72 hours after a potential HIV exposure. While we offer this service, we have limited operating hours. If you cannot be scheduled at RESPECT Clinic within the 72-hour time frame, contact the Specialty Care Center at 402-559-2666 during their office hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) to schedule a visit. After office hours, you may go to a center that provides urgent care or emergency services, including HIV PEP.
