Come grow with us! This is the motto of Maryville, IL, that’s striving to be the perfect place for families. But Madison County, where Maryville, IL, is located, has been affected by STDs.
Fortunately, new HIV infections have been few. In 2019, the county health department reported 13 new diagnoses. Fortunately, in 2020, only six persons were diagnosed with this infection.
On the other hand, Chlamydia has been widespread. In 2019 almost 1,244 incidences were reported, and in 2020 there were 1,114 cases.
While Chlamydia made a dip in 2020, Gonorrhea soared in that same year. From 441 in 2019 to 532 in 2020. As for Syphilis, there were 15 instances of Primary and Secondary Syphilis in 2019. The following year they dropped to 10.
To end the HIV epidemic and stop the spread of STDs, the Madison County Health Department seeks to empower people to take charge of their health. It does this by coordinating with other government agencies and private organizations within Maryville, IL, to provide holistic sexual health services and resources to the community.
Also, it supports HIV programs that ensure people living with HIV can access healthcare and support services.
Maryville, IL, has several facilities where you can get your sexual health checked. For example, some health facilities include the Madison County Health Department, Planned Parenthood - Fairview Heights Health Center, Gateway Urgent Care Glen Carbon, and Metro East Healthcare.
Some places may offer free STD testing. Always call to check eligibility, as it may depend on your income or welfare eligibility. You may also have to book an appointment.
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
