The state of Montana has seen a significant rise in STD rates in recent years. However, communities within Silver Bow County, including Butte have seen mixed results amidst the growing crisis.
Chlamydia rates in the county have seen a steady decrease from 2015 to 2017 as these rates fell from 411.7 cases per 100,000 residents in 2015 to 355.5 cases per 100,000 residents in 2017. Gonorrhea rates, on the other hand, spiked during this same timeframe. In fact, the rate of newly reported gonorrhea rates increased by more than 60 percent as the rate jumped from 37.7 cases per 100,000 residents in 2015 to 60.7 cases per 100,000 residents in 2017.
The good news is the statistical reports show that there were no newly reported cases of primary or secondary syphilis cases in Silver Bow County from 2015 to 2017.
While records show that there were no reports of newly diagnosed cases of HIV in Silver Bow County from 2016 to 2018, Montana’s 2018 Surveillance Reports shows that there were between one and four residents living with HIV as of December 31, 2018.
Butte residents have several possible STD testing options in the city, including at the Silver Bow Health Department and Travelers Healthcare Clinic. In addition, numerous physician’s offices and healthcare centers in the city may provide STD and HIV testing. Many of these practices are located on or near South Crystal Street and West Mercury Street.
Residents can also choose to travel into Helena for additional locations that might offer HIV and STD testing, including Planned Parenthood – Helena Health Center.
Some clinics may list free STD testing options but it’s important to understand that some healthcare centers may not offer walk-in appointments or immediate test results may not be available.
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.
