Atlantic City, NJ, a popular tourist area, is experiencing another type of gambling. Unprotected sexual activities have led to a significant increase in STD rates.
The city in Atlantic County had 391 new chlamydia cases in 2015, and by 2016, that number was unchanged—Hoovering at 391 diagnoses. Gonorrhea cases didn’t stay the same, the city by the sea had 100 new diagnoses in 2015 and nearly 100 more in the following year. Overall, the county had 1,347 new chlamydia diagnoses in 2016 and 420 gonorrhea.
The New Jersey State Health Department is concerned about the growing rate of STDs including HIV. Atlantic County had a nearly 20 percent increase in new diagnoses between 2012 and 2016, leaving officials scrambling to offer more testing sites and education.
There are a few locations for STD testing in and near Atlantic City that also offer education, treatment, and follow-up care. The Southern Jersey AIDS Alliance on Gordons Alley, a one-way street off Pacific Ave. Another option is the Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers on the corner of Atlantic Ave and N South Carolina Ave.
STI screenings are also available at the Atlantic County Department of Human Services on S Shore Rd in Northfield.
All of these locations are located near public transportation routes.
Free STD testing might be available at some locations in Atlantic City. However, these facilities often have hidden fees outside of the test, such as for treatment or follow-up care, and proof of income is most likely required for services.
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.
