Found on the eastern side of the Connecticut River near the greater Hartford area, Enfield reflects Connecticut’s position as a state with one of the lowest STD prevalence rates in the US. However, like the rest of the country, Enfield, CT continues to see an upward climb in the number of citizens with HIV/AIDS and/or another STD.
Based on reports from the CDC, both groups have seen an increase from 2016 to 2017. However, the growth rate is estimated to be 2.3% less than that from the year prior.
Still, the STD prevalence rate during that year demonstrated a 15.4% increase overall with Chlamydia and Gonorrhea having the greatest increases at 12% and 92% respectively. HIV has also been on the rise with more than a 20% increase in that year.
Enfield is a close community with a long illustrious history, if we hope to have as bright of a future, we must get our health crises under control today!
Enfield, CT has several public health offerings to help their citizens find screening, treatment, and prevention. This includes the Planned Parenthood office in Enfield Center on Hazard Ave that provides diagnosis and treatment options for HIV and STDs.
In addition, the Hartford Health Care Urgent Care in the Stop & Shop Plaza offers screening services. Another option is First Choice Health Center in East Hartford.
While some public clinics may offer free STD testing, it is important to remember that “free” does not always mean equal. Often, free testing is offered on a restrictive schedule and not all STDs may be tested for under this free umbrella.
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.
