Data from the Southeastern Jefferson County Health Department indicates that the numbers for HIV infections have been relatively low over the years.
According to the cumulative HIV reports, as of 2016, the total number of diagnosed HIV cases was 4,385. The situation is not devastating, but Jefferson was among the counties where most individuals, especially young adults engaged in unprotected sex.
Chlamydia infection rates in 2017 were 683.7 per 100,000 population. Most infections were prevalent among women, especially teenagers and young adults.
For Gonorrhea, the rates in 2017 were 320.4 per 100,000. What's more, the Syphilis rates were low at 15.3 per 100,000 population. The analysis showed that inadequate sex education was a contributing factor to the STI infections.
The Southeastern Jefferson County Health Department carries out preventive education campaigns throughout the county to lower HIV/STDs infections by 50 percent. It focuses on at-risk individuals, such as MSMs and heterosexuals, and trains them on preventative measures. A partnership with NGOs ensures high-risk individuals have access to PrEP pills, especially those with STD/HIV infected or multiple partners.
Fern Creek's residents can receive free STD testing from nearby sexual health clinics but may be required to make an upfront payment for a doctor's consultation. Moreover, their irregular testing hours may inconvenience patients.
There are other health centers where you can go for testing and treatment. Some of these include Planned Parenthood-Louisville Health Center, Norton Immediate Care Center Fern Creek-Urgent Care, The Brook Hospital- KMI, and Norton Health Care St. Matthews.
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.

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.
