Cortlandt, NY — The Gateway to the Hudson — sits on the northwest edge of Westchester County.
While New York is seeing an upswing in the prevalence rates for STDs and HIV, Cortlandt is seeing a reduction in the HIV rate in their community. While this rate has increased by 1.5% from 2013 to 2017, Cortlandt has actually realized a 2.3% drop.
Unfortunately, this trend does not hold true for their STD prevalence rates. While the state has only seen a 2.6% increase in STD prevalence, Cortland has experienced a growth of 10.4% during that same 5 year period.
In fact, there were roughly 339 out of every 100,000 people in Cortlandt living with STDs in 2017. A number that is believed to be due in large part to the advent of social media as a dating tool.
“The transient nature of dating apps contributes to the spread of these diseases. Cortlandt is not immune to this Tinder/Grindr phenomenon.”
Those Cortlandt residents seeking STD and HIV screening have a number of options in the area from which to choose. Many can even be reached without crossing the Bear Mountain Bridge.
The Westchester County Health Department office in White Plains lists STD and HIV testing as part of it’s Women’s Health offerings. It is roughly a 30-mile drive but is the closest location available.
Planned Parenthood also has a clinic in White Plains that may offer STD testing for Cortlandt citizens. Also, the HRH Care Community Health Center on Park Avenue in Yonkers may offer HIV and STD testing and treatment.
While many clinics offer free STD testing, it is important to keep the possible cons in mind before signing up. These free testing services are often dependent on income and welfare eligibility, may charge extra for a doctor consultation, and may not allow for bookable 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.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
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.
