This was followed by an 11.4% decrease to 3,464 in 2020.
A rate of 3.7 per 100,000 individuals diagnosed with primary and secondary Syphilis infections in the county in 2015 represented a 23.3% increase from the previous year’s 3.0. Since 2016, there has been a spike in infections, doubling from an incidence rate of 3.1 to 6.2 per 100,000 persons in 2018.
Gonorrhea infections showed an upward surge from an incidence rate of 37.1 per 100,000 individuals in 2015 to 68.6 in 2017 and remained relatively constant in the following year at a rate of 62.3. The majority of infections occurred among blacks compared to whites.

In efforts to reduce transmission and re-infection of sexually transmitted diseases, The Maryland Department of Health operates an STD/HIV program that conducts case investigation, data collection and provides conclusive STI screening and treatment. It also engages local health care providers to deliver sex education during community outreach and awareness campaigns.
Planned Parenthood - Gaithersburg Health Center, Fast Track Urgent Care, and Howard County General Hospital provide comprehensive STD/HIV screening services for residents in the census-designated place.
Some town clinics offer free STD testing, but walk-in options might not be available, and some tests are free, not comprehensive.
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.

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.
