Introduction

What are the STI test options in Amherst,NY?

In 2016, Erie County had an HIV prevalence rate of 289.6 per 100K people. This is well below New York’s average rate of 759.7, but higher than many of the surrounding counties. The same year, Erie County had a chlamydia rate of 563.7 per 100K people, which was just above the New York rate of 552.8. The county’s gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 203.1 and 6.5.

Health officials are worried because many of the infections were diagnosed in teens.

Teens were born after the AIDS crisis had largely passed, and they didn’t see all the deaths in the ‘80s, so they have less of a fear of unprotected sex than older generations. Also, many teens don’t realize STIs are also spread through oral sex. Health officials stress that sexually active people should use protection every time and be tested often.

Western New York Immediate Care on Niagara Falls Blvd does STD testing, as does Well Now Urgent Care on Transit Rd. Womens Wellness Associates, also on Transit Rd, performs confidential STI testing. There are other options in the area, and even more in Buffalo, and you may be able to find free STD testing there.

Sexual Health Education

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Amherst, NY

CDC analysts make assumptions which are based on education and fact finding. It is strongly believed that the STD infection rates would show a sharp increase if everyone in high risk categories would get tested. Part of the problem with the alarming spread is that the people who need it the most are either unaware of their peril, or lack the resources to get testing and treatment. People from financially disadvantaged backgrounds are at the highest risk because of fewer resources and a lack of education about sexual health. There is a tendency for them to be unaware of prevention methods and the resources that are at hand to help them.

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Amherst, NY

Reaching at risk populations with solid information and referrals to available help is the challenge currently at hand. Some things that are being done include mandatory sex ed courses in the public schools. Students learn about the potential consequences of unprotected sex including unwanted pregnancy and STD infection along with sign, symptoms and the resources that they can use if they do suspect an STD. They know where they can get a Herpes test or HIV testing. This practice has been ongoing for several years and the rates for teenagers has not significantly dropped, indicating that new strategies need to be implemented with those already in place.

All pregnant women are routinely screened for STDs when they go in for their prenatal care. This is a national standard to help prevent the incidences of babies being still-born or born with disabilities because the parent was infected and not treated. This strategy has helped to reduce the number of infections that are passed on from parent to child, but has not eradicated them totally.

The stats show that ethnicity, age, financial status and gender have some bearing on risk. Populations with the highest infection rates across the board are Blacks, Native Americans/Alaskan Indians and Hispanics. These trends have become more pronounced through the past decade of tracking and analysis as an upward rising trend. Women are diagnosed with Chlamydia, which is the most predominantly seen time at two to three times the frequency as men. Men have higher rates of Gonorrhea and Syphilis infection that women do and men who have male to male sex are at the greatest risk for Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV and Chlamydia.
