There has been an increase in HIV infections over the years in Anoka County, home to Blaine City. In 2015, a total number of 383 cases were recorded at a rate of 115.8 and in the year 2018 the number had increased to 444 cases at a rate of 134.2.
Chlamydia infections were at an all-time high from 2013 to the year 2017. In 2013, there were 18,724 Chlamydia cases at a rate of 353 per 100,000 persons and in 2017 the number had increased to 23,538 cases at a rate of 444 per 100,000 persons.
Gonorrhea cases, on the other hand, increased gradually from 2013 to 2017. From 3,872 cases in 2013, the number doubled to 6,519 cases at a rate of 123 percent in 2017.
An increase in Syphilis cases was also an observable trend in the reports. In 2013, there were 237 infections at a rate of 10.1 per 100,000 persons, and the number had increased to 934 cases at a rate of 17.6 per 100,000 persons in 2017.
To reduce the growing number of HIV/STD infections, the Anoka County Department of Health has adopted Integration as a strategy to improve the treatment of STDs in the County. This has been done by identifying and convening both primary care and public health partners to work together by integrating STD services in the county facilities.
There are some available facilities that offer quality STD testing services in the area.
Health centers such as Mercy Hospital and Fairview Lakes Medical Center are some of the hospitals where you can get tested.
Abbott Northwestern Hospital is also an option that’s just around the neighborhood.
Free STD/HIV screening and testing may be offered in some of the hospitals but you may still be required to pay a doctor consultation fee to access the free services. This might not be conducive for some of those that are financially challenged.
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.
