The resurgence of syphilis that was almost eradicated two decades ago and the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhea show a disturbing health trend. Lane County reported a total STD incident rate of 529.8 per 100,000 residents. This breaks down to a rate of 6.5 for syphilis, 89.3 for gonorrhea, and 434 for chlamydia per 100,000 residents.
Statewide, this places Lane County among the most sexually diseased counties.
The National Coalition of STD Directors says this rise in sexually transmitted diseases comes at a time when health departments are least equipped to handle it. In response local and national organizations are working to rally efforts and increase health through decreasing the spread of STDs.
The Lane County Public Health Sexually Transmitted Infection Program provides services that include free STD testing, counseling in a welcoming environment, regardless of income. Oregon Reminders offers a free service to provide customized reminders for testing, medications, and prescription refills.
From the HIV Alliance Incorporated on Garden Avenue to Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon on Franklin Boulevard, it’s easy to find a testing center. Locate your preferred site and schedule an appointment or look up walk-in hours for testing.
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.

Research has shown that students who receive comprehensive and medically accurate information in sex education classes are less likely to become pregnant or test positive for a venereal disease. These same schools also have a lower rate of Herpes infections, which is always good news for students and their families since this virus can be easily spread from person to person.
Students who are aware of the dangers associated with unprotected sex are less likely to engage in risky behavior, and understand the importance of regular testing. When teens know how important STD tests are for their continued good health they are more likely to encourage others around them to also get screened for any sexually transmitted diseases. It is only through education that STD rates in the city will finally start to decrease.
Even though sexual education classes are making a difference, regular Herpes testing in Eugene is still important, especially for teens and young adults. Regular HIV testing in Eugene is also vital, and the simple procedure only takes a few minutes.
There are factors that are contributing to the increase in STD rates, but recent studies have found that one of the main reasons is a shortage of affordable health care options. Budget cuts, job loss and a weak economy have all made it difficult for many residents to find an affordable way to take care of their sexual health.
Not only are lower income residents finding it difficult to pay for regular testing, but the budget cuts have also caused many facilities to forego any payment plans. This has resulted in fewer residents even trying to get tested, which also causes the rate of infections to rise.
Health care professionals have also noticed that not everyone is prescribing the same dosage when it comes to treating Gonorrhea. In recent years the bacteria that causes the virus has become more resistant to antibiotics, which caused health officials to increase the recommended dosage. When not enough antibiotics are taken the infection will appear, but what is really frightening to health experts is that even though there may not be any symptoms for a while it is still possible to spread the disease.
Other factors contributing to the high STD rate include an increase in intravenous drug use, along with misdiagnoses of secondary Syphilis. The sexually transmitted disease often resembles a rash, and it is easy to mistake it for something else.
Before you take off to explore the nearby buttes or spend an afternoon at a unique gallery it is important to not become a statistic and spend a few minutes taking care of your sexual health. You can avoid all these hassles and schedule confidential STD testing.
