Tuscumbia, AL, is a county seat and city of Colbert County. At least 46 persons at a prevalence rate of 100 in Colbert County were diagnosed with HIV in 2020, and the number went up to 48 in 2022 at a rate of 124.
Chlamydia cases in the first half of 2014 were 136, but decreased to 130 in 2015, then to 112 in 2016. The steady reduction proves responsible sexual habits in the county.
The city also had a Gonorrhea prevalence of 24 in 2014, which rose to 28, and later dropped to 16 bi-annually. It also noted a drop in the half-year accumulative Trichomoniasis cases from 78 in 2014 to 64 in 2016.
Colbert County Health Department works with healthcare providers and community-based agencies to provide STD services, including testing, counseling, and treatment for all sexually active residents and visitors to reduce the spread of STIs.
You can walk into several health facilities, including Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care - Muscle Shoals or shoals women's clinic, for HIV /STI screening and medical care. Family Health Care Clinic and Helen Keller Hospital are other medical clinics with a spectrum of sexual health services.
Free STD testing services are accessible in many public health centers for eligible individuals that want to know their status. However, they might lack consultation services because physicians are not on the phone or onsite. And you are likely to encounter varying wait times if the clinicians conducting the tests are few.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2Â provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.Â
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.Â
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.Â
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.Â
