Introduction

What are the STI test options in Shreveport,LA?

Health changes can be subtle. Many STDs have the ability to be present without one ever realizing they’re infected unless they seek out testing.

For example, chlamydia and gonorrhea can be asymptomatic but they can also leave lasting and real damage if left untreated.

In 2015, STD rates were as high as 695.2 affected persons for every 100,000 residents. This number exceeded the national average, which reported at 478.8 affected persons for every 100,000 residents. From 2014 to 2015 chlamydia rates rose 11.9%, gonorrhea rose 14.5%, and syphilis increased by 21% – an alarming trend.

These rates exceeded the national averages of increase. The state and parish’s rate of increase for chlamydia was 45.2% higher than the national average, while gonorrhea was 14.5% higher than the national average.

To help combat this growing public health concern the state has rolled out programs focused on STD prevention and education. Preventative and educational measures are offered through increased medical availability, social services, and tracking STD statistics. Free STD testing is also being offered at various state health department locations  but only during STD Awareness Month, which fall during the month of April.

From the Philadelphia Center on Centenary Boulevard to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals on Old Minden Road, there are testing locations scattered throughout and around Shreveport. The Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center also offers testing on St. Vincent Avenue.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Shreveport, LA

The city still uses the federally funded abstinence only curriculum in its public schools, and while it is being updated it still does not cover the importance of regular testing. Abstinence will prevent pregnancy and it has been effective at lowering the teen birth rate, but with STDs still on the rise among teens and adults the program is not slowing them down.

The lack of information means that students and many of their parents do not understand the importance of regular STD testing, or the means by which these diseases can be passed. Not all infections are spread solely through penetration during intercourse, and not every disease displays immediate symptoms making it even easier to unknowingly transmit the virus.

This is why regular Herpes testing in Shreveport is so important, since the virus can be spread through casual contact. The simple test only takes a few minutes and it can effectively treat and stop the spread of the viral disease. Regular HIV testing in Shreveport should also be a part of your long-term healthcare.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Shreveport, LA

Demographics play a key role in the STD rates for an area, and this will include social and economic factors, along with gender and age. While STDs were generally only seen in teens and young adults, older men and women are now testing positive for a sexually transmitted disease more often.

Part of the reason for the increasing number of middle age and senior citizens who test positive for a STD is due to living longer and staying healthy. With a larger number of older residents staying sexually active, their chances for contracting a STD drastically increase.

The lack of a comprehensive sexual education program in the public schools makes it difficult for teens and their parents to learn about the importance of regular testing. With the ability for some sexually transmitted diseases to spread simply by casual contact, it is critical that everyone gets tested as part of their regular health exam.

Lower income families often find that they simply can’t afford regular testing, and health officials are also dealing with a language barrier from the increasing number of Hispanic and Asian residents. Until everyone can and does get tested regularly, this southern city will continue to suffer from a high STD rate.
