In 2017 5 syphilis cases were reported across the Vanderburgh County area but by 2018 that number has exploded to an alarming 27 cases, an especially concerning increase for a disease that was almost eradicated. Also seeing increases, the rates for gonorrhea and chlamydia continued to increase across the county.
In 2017 there were 252 cases of gonorrhea and 1,032 cases of chlamydia reported. By 2018 there were 409 cases of gonorrhea and 949 cases of chlamydia reported in just the first six months of 2018.
Indiana law requires all persons who test positive for HIV or AIDS to inform their sexual partners prior to engaging in any sexual activity; failure to inform results in a Class B misdemeanor for accidental cases or a Class D felony for malicious intent. In response awareness events like World AIDS Day on December 1st, National HIV Testing Day on June 27th, and STD Awareness Month in April offer education, free STD testing, counseling services, and increasing safer sex practices.
Through regular testing you can take charge of your own health. On Northwest 4th Street you’ll find an AIDS Resource Group location and on Mulberry Street you’ll find a Vanderburgh County Health Department location. With multiple locations around the Evansville area it’s easy to find a testing center.
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.

Evansville has a high concentration of families that fall at or below established poverty guidelines. Low income generally means few resources for quality medical services and care. When combined with little education on sexual health and prevention of venereal disease, the odds continue to increase. Poverty is known to be a leading factor for risk in sexually active persons. Having multiple sexual partners increases the risk and uprotected sex is like playing Russian Roulette with your sexual health. Often, persons in the greatest risk groups are unaware of their peril. They may become infected and spread an STDs] to others without realizing it. These are in the most dire need of education and direction to all available resources
Everyone needs to have education about best practices for safe sex and prevention of STDs. In addition to this, every available resource including testing clinics along with private and government sponsored assistance programs to help gain access needs to be made public so everyone will know where they can go to get the help that they so desperately need.
Public schools are supplying quality sexual health information to students from the time of middle school through the high school years. This definitely helps to reach some populations at risk before they become adults. Students learn at an early age about all potential consequences of having unprotected sex. They know about resources available to get a Herpes test or whichever type is needed. This practice has been
in force for several years but infection rates for teenagers has not yet seen a decline, indicating strategies need to be improved and implemented in addition.
Women expecting babies undergo routine testing for sexually transmitted disease as a regular part of prenatal screening processes. This has been helpful in lowering incidences of babies born with these diseases or being born with disabling conditions because of them.
The greatest risk for getting an STD is when you have unprotected sex with more than one person or when the person you are with is doing so. You can think of it this way…If you are having sexual relations with a person who is sexually active with multiple partners, you are coming into contact with a person that is multiplying their risk factors with every sexual encounter that they have. Then they are bringing it back to you. It is much like having multiple partners yourself with regard to risk.
If you are even at the slightest risk, get tested. Use the easy ordering process and then drop by a lab where friendly and professional center staff will direct and assist you. Don’t worry about anyone sharing your information because it will all be kept private. The law ensures this. You won’t be at the lab for very long because the total time for testing should not exceed 15 or 20 minutes at the most. While you’re there, if you have questions or concerns, share them with the staff. They can provide you with access to educational materials that should will give you the answers that you need.
When you’re done, you’ll see how fast and easy the entire process really is. It won’t take long for you to get your testing results. You’ll know quickly if you test negative or if there is a need to follow up for treatment of a positive. Either way, you’re taking important steps to safeguard your sexual health and to become a part of the solution that is so badly needed in the fight against sexually transmitted diseases.
