A New Hampshire city offers free tests on Valentine's Day to make sure that the only thing couples share is love.

The Telegraph reports that the Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services offers free screening for badually transmitted diseases, HIV and hepatitis C on Thursday.

This is the second time that Nashua is organizing the event. And this is happening at a time when the Centers for Disease Control is reporting an increase in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis across the country.

Division Director Bobbie Bagley said the goal was to reduce the stigma caused by badually transmitted diseases and to have frank conversations about prevention. She says the test itself takes about 20 minutes and people get the results immediately.
