In 2016, the CDC issued an annual STD report that indicated record-high numbers of STI counts. The sexual health situation in Bristol County, MA, is no different, and county health officials are garnering for bolstered prevention efforts.
A CDC STD report issued in a MassLive News Article indicated that Bristol County recorded a 31.3% increase in chlamydia incidences between 2015 and 2016, resulting in a total count of 1,759 cases. Over the same period, gonorrhea incidences jumped from 225 to 401; a 78.2% increase.
Additionally, 25 persons were newly diagnosed with syphilis in 2016, with a prevalence rate of 4.5. A year previously, new HIV cases totaled 43 with a rate of 9.0.
The Community Council of Bristol County (CCBC) strived to provide an integrated care plan that aims to offer quality healthcare services for PLWH. It provides case management services and housing opportunities and has served over 130 persons living with the virus.
Getting tested allows you to know your sexual health status, after which you can access treatment services if need be. You may get tested at the Planned Parenthood Health Center located along Commonwealth Ave, Boston.
Alternatively, you may visit the Citizens for Citizens (CFC) Family Planning Medical Clinic along Hanover St, Ste 2E. Another CFC Family Planning Center lies on Taunton Green. The clinics might provide testing, screening, and treatment for HIV and STDs, including herpes and Hep C.
Other clinics within Easton may render low-cost or free STD testing. However, everyone might know why you visited a particular clinic and these medical centers may not test all STDs. Also, you may have to wait for long hours for test results.
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.
