Battlecreek is a city full of things to do, including the zoo, Firekeeper’s casino, and Kingman Museu. According to the Michigan Department of Epidemiology, new cases of Syphilis began to rise sharply in 2016. In addition, the number of persons with HIV in addition to another sexually transmitted disease are on the rise too and rates were evenly split according to race.
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease to occur in combination with aids. As of 2017, there were 989 new cases in Calhoun County, alone. Those in higher population areas of the county are more likely to be affected.
There were 361 cases of Gonorrhea in Calhoun County as well. These numbers are significant, when one considers that over half of the population of Calhoun County resides in Battle Creek.
Nearly 10% of the population of Calhoun County has been diagnosed with Chlamydia, making it a serious local epidemic.
Even if you have been diagnosed and treated for an STD, you can still be re-infected. Battle Creek takes the problem of STDs and HIV testing seriously. Free STD testing is available at the County Health Department, but only for those who meet certain income levels.In addition, clinic hours are limited to only 5 hours per day and there are only later hours available one day per month.
Several private options are available, such as specialty clinics on Columbia Ave. and Michigan Ave. Your choice of clinics in the Battle Creek area may depend on your insurance situation.
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.
