The Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC) will begin offering free syphilis testing in addition to its free weekly HIV tests on Wednesday, April 11th.
Syphilis passes from person to person in many of the same ways as HIV, and it can cause fatal damage to the brain, heart, and nervous system if left untreated.
The free tests, normally a $70 value, are being provided by Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region.
