In Montgomery County alone, there were 3,156 cases of Chlamydia in 2017. Montgomery County also reported 1,346 cases of Gonorrhea that same year. The numbers reported for STDs in Montgomery County are the highest they’ve been in ten years.
Health officials in Montgomery County say that most people infected with STDs don’t know they’re infected, and so they’ve reached out to encourage local doctors to talk to patients about STDs, whether the patients come in for testing or not.
The city of Dayton and the surrounding area takes care of its citizens by providing some public locations for STD testing, including Planned Parenthood on Wilkinson Street. There are also private facilities that are ready to help. Best of all, most are easily accessible by bus or car.
You can even find some testing centers within walking distance, especially if you live by the city’s university. Free STD testing at some centers can even be located simply by asking when scheduling an appointment. Though you may have to wait to get in.
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.
SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.
Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

Recently released statistics show Dayton and surrounding Montgomery County are currently experiencing a rise in reported STDs, and the data shows this trend is nothing new.
What is even more disturbing is that the statistics also show that primary and/or secondary Syphilis incidents are also rising, and a large number of the new cases can be traced back to larger cities. With Cincinnati’s STD rates on the rise, it seems that it is also affecting Dayton and Montgomery County.
Even without some STD outbreaks being traced back to other cities, Montgomery County is still well above state averages. In 2012 the incident rates for Gonorrhea was almost double that of Ohio. Syphilis rates also increased between 2010 and 2014, and it is affecting men and women of all ethnicities and age groups.
Some of the recently released numbers that have health officials growing extremely concerned include;

Sexual education programs are the best method available in STD prevention, but currently Dayton public schools are only required to teach the state sponsored abstinence only curriculum. Educators do have to discuss venereal diseases with students, but regular STD testing is not included in the classes.
Without this information it is difficult for students and parents to understand the risks and dangers associated with having unprotected sex, or the fact that STDs can be transmitted in various ways. Without a comprehensive program in place in the city schools, health officials are worried that the STD rates won’t begin to fall.
Making it more difficult for students to be educated about the dangers associated with sexually transmitted diseases is the fact that many teens and their parents opt out of these programs. While the information contained in the classes might be limited, it is still better than not receiving any education at all.
A comprehensive sexual education program will remind teens and students that STDs can be easily spread. The Herpes virus is common in schools, and students can easily pass it to each other without having sex, and the same is also true for the HIV virus.
Regular Herpes testing in Dayton is crucial, along with HIV testing.
Lower income neighborhoods often have a shortage of community centers which is also contributing to the incidence rate of STDs in these areas. Inability to afford regular testing and a lack of caring about their sexual health, is also causing sexually transmitted disease rates to soar among some of the poorer residents.
Other demographical factors include age and gender, along with the city’s strong religious and conservative beliefs. Many parents and teens simply aren’t comfortable discussing sex or STDs, which can make it difficult for students who are sexually active to get the permission they need for regular testing.
The old stereotypes that accompany many of the sexually transmitted diseases are also playing a role in the city’s rising STD rates, especially among African American men who are often embarrassed are too ashamed to admit that they might need to see a health care professional. Teenage girls facing peer pressure can find it difficult to say “no”, and even engage in risky sexual behavior.
You only have to give up 20 min. for confidential STD testing. You just need to dial the toll free number. In less than a half an hour, you can still catch an amazing and education performance at SunWatch Indian Village.
