Introduction

What are the STI test options in District of Columbia?

While walking around Washington D.C. you can catch a Capitals game, head to the Washington Monument, or visit the White House. Before you go exploring our nation’s capital, it is important to stop by one of the city’s many STD Clinics to get yourself tested. While many believe they are practicing safe sex, it is still important to get tested regularly. Alarmingly, the district has one of the highest rates of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, C, Herpes, Syphilis and HIV in the country. You can find free STD testing centers in D.C. These facilities often come with long lines, but there is an easier way to get tested. You can easily schedule private STD testing with a phone call, and only spend 15 to 20 minutes at a nearby lab. This way you’ll still have plenty of time to tour the nation’s capitol.

    STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in District of Columbia

    STDs are significantly more prominent in teens, and adults under the age of 25. While the number of AIDS patients is decreasing in the area every year, gonorrhea and chlamydia are still running rampant. It is only through better sexual education that you can prevent younger members of the community from contracting and spreading these diseases.

    The data shows there was a slight decrease in the number of these diseases per year until 2010. At that point, both diseases saw a sharp increase in their rates of transmission and total number of occurrences. One reason for the increase in STD rates is thought to be due to cuts in health care and education. This has resulted in an even greater number of teens graduating high school without the tools and information they need to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases.

    Teens and young adults often do not know that regular Herpes testing in D.C. is the best way to prevent the spread of the contagious virus. Regular HIV testing in D.C. is also vital for everyone’s continued good health. The simple procedure only takes a few minutes, and it could help save your life.

     

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in District of Columbia

    Analyzing demographics is important when tracking STD rates in specific areas. The capitol city has a thriving and diverse city center with a variety of  factors contributing to its STD problem. Poverty issues stemming from class and racial division have caused outbreaks to become unfortunately common in certain neighborhoods within the city.

    There is also a significant disparity between genders when looking at data for the district and region as a whole. Females are significantly more likely to contract Chlamydia, while men are twice as likely to test positive for Gonorrhea. Additionally, STDs are disproportionately more common in African Americans when compared to other races.

    This data is startling, and it does indicate that there is a problem with STDs in the metro area. A significant contribution to the STD rates is poverty. As a whole, there are many more African Americans below the poverty line in Washington D.C. Without equal access to affordable treatment or sexual health education, it’s difficult for these low income communities to protect themselves from STDs. As education efforts increase local leaders are hopeful that more residents will start getting tested, and that the infection rates will begin to decrease.

    D.C. has always struggled with issues that are contributing to its high STD rates, and until they are resolved the community will continue to be at risk.
