Introduction

What are the STI test options in Kentucky?

The state of Kentucky is usually noted for its entertaining horse racing events, rich bourbon distilleries, and its strong roots within American history. Tourists entering this state will find themselves immersed in a large number of unique daytime and nighttime events that are unique to KY. The community offers a tightly knitted relationship, making this an ideal place to call home. However, while experiencing what KY has to offer, be sure to keep your sexual health within check by taking an STD test every so often. Unfortunately, the state (and United States) is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of STD seen annually. Keep yourself safe, aware, and alert by partaking in a periodic STD test.

By doing this, national and state why governments hope that providing deep statistical information may help fight to the widespread number of STD cases that are appearing more frequently.

In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also known as the CDC, released its annual report outlining the number of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases within the state for individuals in ages of 15 and 24. The report was concise and broke down the state by its various counties, showing which counties was at the most risk for the specific sexually transmitted diseases. With a 100,000 person population sample size the report revealed that KY:

  • Only had a total of seven counties with severe chlamydial rates, above 3,000. However, a majority of the counties within the state had a moderate chlamydial rate, between 1,000 and 3,000.
  • Had a very select few counties that were at a severe gonorrhea rate. There were a total of four counties that had a gonorrhea rate above 600. The rest of the counties were either between 300 and 600 or below or equal to 300.
  • A total of five counties were at a severe risk for primary and secondary syphilis, having a rate of greater than 10. A vast majority of the remaining counties were equal to or less than 2.2.

Overall, can be said that the state is not at the most severe risk for sexual transmitted diseases, but the issue is still very concerning as the numbers continue to rise. The report also broke down the chlamydial rate between the state as a whole and the national average, allowing for us to have a better understanding as to how severe STDs are within the state. KY had a chlamydial rate of 2037.9 while the US average remains 2160.2. Secondly, the gonorrheal rate for the state was 398.6 while the continental US rate remained at a steady 421.3.

Finally, KY had an average primary and secondary syphilis rate of 5.9 while the national average remained 10.3. Across the board, the state had lower risks the national average which is good news. However, due to the fact that the nation as a whole is seeing a widespread epidemic of sharply increasing STD rates, the state should be concerned.

As of more recently, the CDC also released its 2015 report outlining the state’s health profile. A number of statistics and overall conclusions were drawn within this report and it was able to give us a good idea as to the STD rates within the state. According to the report, in 2009 the state saw a primary and secondary syphilis rate of 2.1 and into 13 saw a rate of 2.8. Additionally, the report ranked KY 34th for its chlamydial rate and ranked the state 23rd ports gonorrheal rate.

On the other hand, prefer a physical copy, and you can easily walk into a number of health centers and clinics and pick up a pamphlet on the topic of your choosing.

The committee also provides free sexual health education in the public education system. When students are of age, teachers discuss the topic of sexual health, STDs, and safe sex practices. After completing the sexual health and STD course, students are expected to understand the basics of safe sex practices and STDs in general.

If that wasn’t enough, the state also offers free STD testing to its residents and tourists.

Those who currently live in Kentucky or have traveled there understand the diversity of its community members. Not only does the state pride itself on its population of those with different background, ages, and heritages, it believes that this is what makes the state so great.

Within the 2015 state health profile report provided by the CDC, a few conclusions were drawn outlining the most at risk individuals within the state for STDs. For starters, the report revealed that those the ages of 2324 and 15 through 19 were significant contributors to the rising number of chlamydial and gonorrheal cases, and were at a severely higher risk overall. Additionally, the report revealed that on average, with a 100,000 person simple, women were 2.4 times more likely to contract chlamydia than men.

Although the state is doing a significant amount to educate and provide services for its community, the number of messy cases continues to rise each and every year. Because of this, many public officials and community members feel that morning to be done, specifically for those who are at the most risk.

In order to educate those who are most at risk within the state, many individuals have discussed the idea of teaching sexual education at younger ages throughout the public education system. Additionally, many individuals feel that a public campaign towards educating its community on STDs and the free services offered by the government is a necessity.

By targeting women between the ages of 15 through 24, the committee hopes to fight this epidemic head-on. If handled correctly, many public officials and committee members feel that educating this target demographic can effectively reduce STDs for the nation.
