Introduction

What are the STI test options in Sioux Falls,SD?

Health officials are concerned about the rising STD rates in the Sioux Falls area, even among children, and they worry it could lead to a health crisis. They say that people became lax about using protection after the AIDS scare of the ’80s ebbed, and funding for public health was cut.

Also, since some STDs are asymptomatic, people might not come in to be tested until the disease has progressed, and they may have passed it on to other people.

The Sioux Falls area had 29 HIV cases in 2016, as well as 1,225 chlamydia cases, 376 gonorrhea cases, and 38 syphilis cases. A local campaign called Protect Your Parts attempts to fight the rising STD rates by teaching people how and where to get tested, educating people about risk factors, and pointing out where to get free condoms. There are often free STD testing events as well.

There are a few STD-testing clinics in Sioux Falls. The South Dakota Department of Health provides HIV and STD testing and counseling. Contact their office on North West Ave. They also operate a family-planning office at the Falls Community Health Center, which offers STI screening on a sliding fee scale. You can find them on Main Ave.

Heartland Health Resource Center, on 49th St, provides rapid HIV testing, and they provide monetary assistance for treatment.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Sioux Falls, SD

Like many cities across the nation sex education classes are not necessary for graduation, nor are public schools required to teach it. While schools do have to teach classes designed to help students develop strong characters, this generally only involves discussions concerning the benefits of abstinence.

Without the information teens and adults need to stay safe, many will unknowingly contract a sexually transmitted disease. Since the misconception that the only way to contract a STD is through sexual activity is prevalent among teens, many residents do not recognize the signs and symptoms even when it is occurring to them. This makes it possible for the virus to continue to be spread.

Along with implementing sexual education courses in the public schools, students and their parents need to understand the importance of scheduled health screenings. Regular Herpes testing in Sioux Falls can stop the spread of this virus that is often found in teens and young adults. Regular HIV testing in Sioux Falls is also vital for continued good health, especially considering the high rate of infection in the area.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Sioux Falls, SD

There are several demographical factors that are affecting the STD percentages for the area, and one is the relatively remote location of the city. The state is sparsely populated with little variation in activities for teens and young adults which can lead to boredom and a willingness to try new things. This often includes engaging in sexual activity, and since the majority of teens and young adults do not understand how STDs are spread they don’t realize that they are putting themselves at risk.

Along with a lack of education, a spike in tourism is also driving up the number of infections reported each year. Often visitors to the area are infected with a STI and simply pass it on to unsuspecting residents. What is upsetting to health officials is that this could easily be prevented if residents understand the dangers associated with unprotected sex and how sexually transmitted diseases are spread.

One of the reasons attributed to the growing number of new Syphilis and HIV/AIDS cases is the resurgence in intravenous drug use. This is increasingly becoming a problem in older males, many of whom never tested positive for an STD until recently. Sharing needles is the leading cause, along with a loss of inhibitions regarding sex. As the euphoric feelings from the drugs set in, it is not uncommon for people to forget to practice safe sex.
