As part of King County, Bellevue shares Seattle’s STD problems to some degree, though their HIV rate is much lower. In 2013, Bellevue’s HIV rate was 88.5 per 100K people while King County’s was 326.9, with most of the cases being in Seattle. While unprotected sex accounts for many of the HIV cases in King County, health officials also blame injection drug use, particularly heroin and meth, for the rising rates.
Syphilis has gone up in King County, as in the rest of Washington, with a 200% increase from 2007–2017. This is especially a problem for pregnant women, as syphilis can be fatal to a baby.
Medical professionals recommend regular screening, since syphilis can be cured easily if caught early.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Bellevue, and more in Seattle, Kirkland, and Redmond if you can get there (and it can be easier to find free STD testing in larger cities). Immediate Clinic on 8th St screens for STDs.
Planned Parenthood, further west on 8th St, tests for all STIs and treats all except HIV. Their fees are affordable and depend on your income. Summit Primary Care & Walk-In Clinic is located on Factoria Blvd and provides STD testing.
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.

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.

Often considered a suburb of Seattle, Bellevue has the same problem with its STD rates as the county.
For the past twenty years STD rates have been slowly climbing in the area, and the Washington Department of Health has indicated that it does not expect these numbers to improve in the near future. More teens and young adults are testing positive for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, and even older residents are now becoming more common at area health clinics.
Some of the statistics that show how serious the STD rates are to the health of the community include,

With STD rates reaching alarming highs, local health officials and city leaders have finally decided that something needs to be done to protect residents from the dangers associated with sexually transmitted diseases.
There are already medically accurate sexual education classes implemented in the public schools, and while parents are allowed to withdraw their children from the programs the majority believes that the information taught is important for students health and safety.
Since STD rates are still climbing according to recent statistics, the public school board is currently reviewing the information taught to area students. Along with ensuring students understand all of the ways STDs can be spread, treatment options, importance of regular testing, and lifestyle habits are also covered in these programs.
One of the areas city leaders are looking at is the lack of information available for adults. With the majority of the education budget going to the schools, many of the city’s older residents are still unaware of the dangers they face when they engage in unprotected sex. While plans to improve the education process are still underway, it is important for everyone to get regular Herpes testing in Bellevue. The virus is a common problem in area high schools, and the simple test can help get this STD under control.
Regular HIV testing in Bellevue is also critical for your continue good health, and the simple procedure will only take a few minutes of your valuable time.
Statistics released by King County health officials clearly show that sexual preference has a large impact on a person’s chances of contracting a STD. Men who prefer men are more than twice as likely to test positive for gonorrhea, and the same is true for homosexual women.
Unfortunately stereotypes and misinformation concerning some sexually transmitted diseases is also causing rates to go up, especially Syphilis and HIV. A distinct lack of information regarding how these diseases are spread is putting many of the city’s older residents at risk, along with the fact that these same men and women are also staying sexually active longer.
Recent advances in medicine and treatments have given many people a false sense of security, and some even believe that STDs are no longer a threat to their overall health. A feeling of invincibility among area teens has many believing that there is not a need for regular testing, and some simply don’t want to take time out of the busy schedules to take care of their sexual health.
Before heading out to Lake Washington or over to Seattle, care for your sexual health. The number of STDs is rising each year, which means you have a greater risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Private clinics and labs, as well as public ones are open. You can find one in your area. It won’t take long, and then you’ll be out on the lake.
