With a population of nearly 50,000, the Cleveland suburb of Euclid, Ohio, is home to sports personality and former National Football League player Mike Adamle who is best known from his co-hosting days of the population television series, American Gladiators.
There is plenty to do in Euclid, including visits to the Polka Hall of Fame, Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine, and the Euclid Creek Reservation. The city is also home to a number of people diagnosed with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
From 2013-2015, there were 28,121 chlamydia infections reported in Cuyahoga County with adolescents and young adults between the age of 15 to 24 having the highest rates of the disease.
When it comes to gonorrhea, Ohio was ninth in the nation with 16,237 infections while Cuyahoga County came in at number 13 in the United States for gonococcal infections in 2014 with 3,213 cases reported.
The rate of HIV infection has actually decreased some in the Euclid area with 2016 statistics from the Ohio Department of Health showing an 18.6 percent drop in new cases. That’s a decline of 36 individual cases throughout Cuyahoga County.
There are over several sites throughout the Euclid area that offer screenings and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. This includes the AHF Wellness Center in Cleveland that features blood testing services. Planned Parenthood offers testing for nearly all sexually transmitted diseases and bases fees on income guidelines.
Some free STD testing is offered throughout the area but the downside to that can be longer wait times to obtain an appointment. It may also take longer to receive treatment from a doctor if you visit a free clinic.
Since the biggest risk to your health is in not knowing if you have a sexually transmitted disease, it is better to be safe than sorry and undergo screening for STDs.
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.

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.

The Cuyahoga County Board of Health works with school districts and community based agencies to administer the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program. The program provides comprehensive and evidence based sexual health education to youth throughout Cuyahoga County. The 216 Teens program has the aim of preventing teen pregnancy and the spread of STDs among youth in Cuyahoga County.
This program is designed to educate and motivate teenagers aged 14 to 19 year about safer sexual behaviors. In addition, it is designed to increase teen use of trusted local health services and resources. Funding for this project and campaign was made possible by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Adolescent Health. The program provides school-based sexual health education programs. Staff partners with local health clinics, nonprofit organizations, and others working to improve teen health and reduce the rates of teen pregnancy and spread of STIs.
The program provides medically accurate content and evidence based sexual health curriculum. The aim is to present information in a way that is teen-friendly and engaging. The program works with teen advisors to shape content to stay current and innovative. Its staff is committed to treating everyone with compassion and integrity. They provide information that will benefit all teens, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, economic circumstances, religion, or faith. They strive to be fair, respectful and nonjudgmental.
The vision is for Cuyahoga County teenagers to understand their physical and emotional development and empower them to delay sexual initiation. The mission is to educate, inform, and motivate teens to delay sexual initiation, practice safer sexual behaviors, and seek preventive reproductive health care.
Demographics play a role in STD rates in your area. Let’s look at a recent example with chlamydia case demographics in Cuyahoga County. Throughout the county 39 of all Chlamydia cases were to teens age 15 to 19 year. The rate is 4,505 cases per 100,000, a 5.7% decrease in rates since 2011 levels.
This is the first time since 2002 that this percentage dipped below 40%. A rate of 4,505 cases per 100,000 can be interpreted 4.5% of Cuyahoga County teens age 15 to 19 as having a chlamydial infection. This ignores repeat infections. In other words, one in every 22 teens age 15 to 19 in Cuyahoga County reported a case of chlamydia.
In the age 20 to 24 age demographic we see a similar observation. With this demographic 36 percent of Chlamydia cases were reported among youth age 20 to 24 years, at a rate of 4,768 cases per 100,000 persons in this age group. Overall, 71 percent of reported cases were among females.
Concerning race and ethnicity demographics about two thirds (63%) of reported chlamydia cases in Cuyahoga County were Black/African American. The rate is 1742 per 100,000. This is five times greater than that observed for Hispanic cases at 331 per 100,000. It is ten times greater than that observed for white/non-Hispanic at 170 per 100,000.
Over half at 58% of all Chlamydia cases were attributed to Cleveland residents. This is based on their residence at the time of diagnosis. A recent report shows that the proportion of cases attributed to Cleveland is getting lower. It was recently the lowest level reported in over twenty years. There is an increasing trend of chlamydia cases reported in Cuyahoga county outside of Cleveland proper.
The racial makeup of the city according to a recent census was 43 percent White, 52 percent African American, and 1.6 percent Hispanic or Latino.
