While STD rates are rising in many communities across the country, Anne Arundel County, including the city of Arnold, MD, reports show mixed results.
County records show that chlamydia rates in Anne Arundel County rose by nearly 4 percent, as the number of newly reported chlamydia cases jumped from 2,234 cases in 2017 to 2,316 cases in 2018. Gonorrhea rates, on the other hand, fell over the same timeframe. The number of new gonorrhea cases dropped from 583 new cases in 2017 to 544 new cases in 2018.
Fortunately, syphilis rates (primary and secondary stages) in the county have also fallen, as the number of newly reported cases declined from 34 cases in 2017 to 27 cases in 2018.
Anne Arundel County reports show that there were 1,303 people living with HIV at the end of 2017. Of this number, 69.5 percent were male, and 30.5 percent were female.
There are few resources in Arnold, MD, for STD testing. However, some private physician offices and medical centers may offer STD and HIV testing. Many of these facilities are located just off Ritchie Highway.
Arnold residents can also travel into the state capital of Annapolis to find other testing centers, such as Planned Parenthood Annapolis Health Center, Annapolis Pregnancy Center, Parole Health Center, AFC Urgent Care, and Evolve Urgent Care Center.
Some clinics may promote low-cost and free STD testing, but keep in mind that some clinics offer inconvenient hours and you may experience long wait times. In addition, not all clinics have an onsite doctor, so you may need to go to a second location for after-test treatment.
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 CDC2 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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
