What are the STI test options in Altoona,PA?

Altoona. Largest city of Blair County Pennsylvania. A-Town was once called Railroad City becauseโ€”like many cities in the Rust Beltโ€”it rode the Iron Horse into modernization. Today Toona Town is best known for its bustling three and a half mile party known as Pleasant Valley Boulevard, Penn State Altoona, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Still, The Mountain City hasnโ€™t lost its status as a railway hub. Norfolk Southern Railways Pittsburgh Line and Amtrak both still stop there at least twice daily.

In Blair County, regular testing has kept chlamydia to 250 cases per 100,000 residents. Lower than the state and national average.

Just like the 40 per 100,000 cases of gonorrhea. Ranking it 21st. Not enough data exists regarding syphilis in the region, but thatโ€™s no reason to assume absence of the illness.

Doctors hypothesize early and regularly screening stopped the growth, and that the same should be implemented elsewhere. There are plenty of STD clinics near you. Many of which can offer results for some tests in as little as 1-2 days and offer affordable or free testing based on income or around April (STD awareness Month).

Altoona has plenty of options for getting an STI test. There are three locations just off of East Chestnut, North of the 36. LabCorp, Womenโ€™s Health and Wellness Center, and Family Planning Center. Many locations offer same day testing but it is always best to call ahead to assure appointment availability. For community college students at Pennsylvania Highlands, even more affordable options are available. Check out the campus calendars for local events and opportunities for free HIV testing.

Reviewed by Our Medical Team
Your trusted source for comprehensive and unbiased STD testing locations, statistics, and resources. Backed by board-certified physicians and aligned with CDC guidelines, we're committed to providing accurate, up-to-date information to empower your health choices.

What STD tests do I need?

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.

When should I get tested?

The CDC2ย 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.ย 

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.

How are STD tests done?

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.

How fast do I get my results?

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.ย 

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.ย 

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.ย 

SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

What same-day testing locations are available in Altoona, PA?

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

How much will STD testing cost in Altoona, PA?

The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.ย 

With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.ย 

SaferSTD has researched and identified reputable locations that offer upfront pricing without hidden fees. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Altoona, PA

Area hospitals have STD testing readily available for people who want to get checked out for events such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis. But what is done to educate residents within the city limits about ways to prevent these diseases from happening in the future? In other words, how does a man or woman avoid becoming a statistic for the first time? How do they know what herpes testing is available? How about HIV testing?

Programs are offered within Blair County that try and educate, or prevent, sexually transmitted diseases from taking place. Most of these programs are offered within the confines of area hospitals, as there are no family planning centers within the area itself that offer screening, exams, and counseling for clients who may have been exposed.

The dramatic rise in STD rates has encouraged school districts to start funding money toward HIV and STD education and free STD testing. School districts have offered ways to learn about STD education and stopping the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

As recently as 2009, many school districts in Pennsylvania believed it was up to the parents to teach their kids about sex education, and the numbers of students being taught varied wildly by the district. The Altoona Mirror, the cityโ€™s newspaper, did report that a โ€œteen parentโ€ program has been in place and about 20 people participated at the end of that decade.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Altoona, PA

The population of this city is equally split 50-50, but the household income of $35,492 is below the state median of approximately $52,000. Altoona is overwhelmingly white, as in 92.9 percent Caucasian, with a smattering of other races and representations throughout the metropolitan region.

Unemployment in the region is around 9.2 percent. What this suggests is a region that has not fully recovered from the Great Recession or the economic crises of years past. The area is now home to a college campus (Penn State-Altoona) and also has other strong colleges within the region. However, the manufacturing jobs and those jobs that relied on a strong rail system of years past have largely vanished. Like many cities, the switch from a manufacturing to a service economy has resulted in lower-paying jobs and fewer opportunities for families to get ahead.

The city has a general good health condition of around 55 percent, which is the same as the state. This suggests the city has a decent record when compared with other major cities around the state.

Three high schools exist around the area, one of which is a public school. Approximately 23 percent of the citizens are under the age of 18, but what is being done to address sexually transmitted diseases in the region remains to be seen. It seems like conditions are improving in the area, but how this will affect city residents now are yet to be determined.

Better Sexual Health in Altoona, PA

The hilly region and other close cities sit in are full of reminders of the older years. The city is sprawled out, a remnant of the old days when the population approached 80,000 residents close to 80 years ago. It has been a slow decline ever since. The STD rate may be indicative of the lack of opportunities available to residents as the years have gone by. With more and more education, the rates may go down for illnesses like gonorrhea and chlamydia. Crime rates in the area have declined markedly as the economy gets better, so the question remains how the city will be affected and what will happen to residents as more opportunities make themselves known. The presence of hospitals and family centers willing to educate is a big plus, and perhaps we may yet see a turnaround in STD rates within the south central region of the state.
