Rising STD rates are affecting communities across the country, and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in Franklin County is no exception.
Chlamydia rates in the county averaged 270.3 cases out of 100,000 residents from 2015 to 2017, which represents 1,248 newly reported cases. Gonorrhea rates, on the other hand, averaged 49.4 cases out of 100,000 residents from 2015 to 2017, representing a total of 228 newly reported cases of gonorrhea.
Many of these newly reported STD cases involve residents ranging from 15 to 26 years old. In addition, statistics show that more women are diagnosed with chlamydia than men, while more men are diagnosed with gonorrhea than women.
County records also show that Franklin County had 9 newly reported cases of syphilis from 2015 to 2017.
According to Surveillance Reports, there were 142 residents living with HIV in Franklin County at the end of 2018. However, the number of newly reported HIV cases dropped significantly from 2017 to 2018, as the number of new HIV cases fell from 7 cases in 2017 to only 1 case in 2018.
There are several locations in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, that might offer HIV and STD testing, including Keystone Community Outreach, MedExpress Urgent Care, Keystone Health HIV Program, and Keystone Women’s Care. In addition, residents may find STD testing options at one of the many private physicians’ offices in the area. Many of these private practices are located just off I-81, or along Norland Avenue or the Lincoln Highway.
Some healthcare clinics may even advertise an option for free STD testing, but these free services do not always include comprehensive STD testing. In addition, not all clinics have an on-staff physician, so you may need to go to a second location for a doctor consultation or after-test treatment.
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.
