Commack, a hamlet in Suffolk County, NY, is a census-designated place of approximately 36,000 residents. Despite its small size, it forms part of one of the most populous counties in New York. According to a surveillance report in 2017, sexually transmitted infections are increasing in Suffolk County. #
In 2015, 3,964 cases of chlamydia were recorded, in 2015, this increased to 4,506, and in 2017, Suffolk County recorded its highest number of cases of 4,917.
In Suffolk County, 2,840 residents were living with HIV in 2017, a prevalence rate of 228. Just four years earlier, the prevalence rate was 214.
To combat the rise in STDs, the Suffolk County government division of Preventative Medicine, in conjunction with the office of Education, provides presentations on sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS to high schools and colleges to encourage young adults to protect their sexual health.
Additionally, community-based initiatives such as the Long Island Association for AIDS care and LIGALY provide essential services and support to HIV-infected persons and those considered at high risk of HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services is affiliated with nine family health centers across Long Island, and these centers also offer HIV testing services, education, and treatment.
Alternative facilities that provide STD testing and treatment include the urgent care facility in Mayfair Shopping Center on Jericho Turnpike.
Some other facilities might offer free STD testing, but doctor consultations might cost extra, and you may not be able to book urgent appointments.
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.
