Introduction

What are the STI test options in Sumter,SC?

In between the capital of Colombia and world-famous Myrtle Beach, sits the home of Shaw Air Force Base and their famous Fighting Falcon F-16s. Sumter, South Carolina is as rich with splendor, and ripe with adventure, as it is steeped in American history. That tapestry only sets the surging rates of sexually transmitted diseases and infections in contrast.

According to data as analyzed from the Center for Disease and Prevention’s 2017 STD surveillance report, The Palmetto State ranks third highest in the nation in the staggeringly increasing rates of STD and STIs.

In just chlamydia, the national average is 529 infections per 100,000 residents. The Sumter area and South Carolina are at 120 more per. That’s almost 20% more than the national average. While lower in number of cases, gonorrhea transmission is 32% higher than that analytical mean.

In order to reduce the spread, doctors recommend sincere communication with partners on what they know is a difficult subject, with the reminder to seek professional guidance sooner rather than later. They also recommend getting tested both early and often, as diagnosis is often much improved by early detection.

The options for the people of Sumter are many. Be it prevention, detection, or treatment, all are available. Doctors Care – Sumter, Sandhills Medical Foundation, Sumter County Health Department, and the Sumter Pregnancy Center are all just off the 378.

Some locations offer same-day testing and can provide results in as little as 1-2 days. Free or affordable screening may be available at some clinics. Particularly around April, which is sexually transmitted disease awareness month.

To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Sumter clinics with our easy-to-read chart.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Sumter, SC

Every year, middle and high schools across South Carolina send students home with a letter to their parents, outlining their sexual education curriculum as required by state law. The program of instruction for this unit may not include discussion of alternate sexual lifestyles from heterosexual relationships including, but not limited to, homosexual relationships except in the context of instruction concerning sexually transmitted infections.

Some believe the message is that homosexuality is wrong and that it is not an appropriate sexual lifestyle. Some feel this promotes homophobia and teaching a curriculum that violates the U.S. Constitution.

South Carolina is one of six states that forbids teachers from portraying gay relationships as acceptable or in a positive light. Despite attempts in recent years, the current Comprehensive Health Education Act was amended only once — in 2014, when the General Assembly passed Erin’s Law requiring schools to teach sexual abuse and sexual assault prevention.

Senator Vincent Sheheen introduced a proviso into the state budget that allows the state Department of Education to hold school districts accountable for failing to comply with the health education law. If a district refuses to comply, the Education Department can withhold 1 percent of the district’s funds allocated in the Student Health and Fitness Act.

According to an annual survey by the Education Department, 70 percent of school districts in the state were not compliant with the Comprehensive Health Education Act.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Sumter, SC

Demographics play a role in STD rates in the city and area. Sexually active people ages 15 to 24 are at higher risk of getting an STD. The demographic for HIV/AIDs in South Carolina is young and African American. The majority of people being infected with HIV are men who have sex with other men.

But African-Americans and African-American women are disproportionately affected. They’re accounting for over 70 percent of new infections. An alarming discovery is how young these patients are. Some are as young as 13 to 19 years old.

Recent data shows that in the state of South Carolina for young adults between the ages of 20 and 24, 55 out of every 100,000 are infected with HIV every year. That is one of the highest rates in the country.

The reasons the deep south is struggling to bring down diagnosis and death rates for HIV/AIDS are complicated. Reasons could include a social stigma, poverty, rural geography, and lack of affordable healthcare. Being in the Bible Belt can add to the stigma. If someone is is diagnosed with HIV, they could decide not to get treatment. They could fear being rejected in their religious community.  

The state ranked in the top 10 nationally for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and diagnosed rates of HIV/AIDS. Of concern is a jump in the rate of HIV/AIDS among teenagers. From 2014 to 2015, the rate increased 10.9 percent in 15 to 19 year-olds, per 100,000 residents.

Only 59 percent of high school students in one report said they used a condom the last time they had sex. In a recent report we see that patients in the south have the lowest five-year survival rate for new AIDS diagnoses in the country. Nearly a third of those diagnosed with AIDS died within five years of being told they were infected.
