HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis have been isolated as the most prevalent infectious diseases in New York. The recent number of STD infections indicate that much needs to be done to put an end to their spread.
According to a 2012 STD Analysis Report by Health Indicators Warehouse, Suffolk County, a region with a population of about 735,701 persons, recorded a chlamydia rate of 817.0 per 100,000 people. In the same year, the gonorrhea incident rate was 142.0.
Additionally, a 2017 STD Surveillance Report by the NY State Department of Health showed that there was a total of 151 cases of syphilis in Suffolk County.
For many years, people have refrained from getting tested due to stigma. The Stop HIV Stigma is a campaign aimed at empowering those who have HIV by shunning any form of stigmatization. It calls upon everyone to play a part in preventing discrimination of those infected with the virus.
For East Patchogue resident who'd like to know their status, the Suffolk County Health Department has several STD clinics which may offer testing services. They include clinics along, Sunrise Hwy, Amityville; E Main St, Patchogue; and the Middle County Rd, Coram.
Another option is the Long Island Association for AIDS Care (LIAAC) clinic along Adams Ave, Hauppauge. Instead, you can go to the LIGALY Health Center nestled along Park Ave, Bay Shore.
Other medical centers within East Patchogue might offer free STD testing. Some downsides of these services are that it may be difficult to hide the reason why you visited and multiple payment modes might not be available. In addition, the results may take longer to be processed and expedited.
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.
