The county seat for Hancock County in Ohio, Findlay is a community of some 40,000 people. It is also a city experiencing an upswing in STD cases.
In fact, the big three STDs (Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis) have all seen an increase in their prevalence rates during the five years from 2014 to 2018. Only HIV has seen a drop in its numbers with its prevalence rate dipping a slight 1.2% during that period.
Gonorrhea shows the largest increase in Findlay with their numbers more than doubling from 2014 to 2018 with a 134% increase. Those individuals of African American descent between the ages of 20 and 24 having the most cases.
“According to an article in The Courier, the resurgence in STDs is due largely to lack of information and funding to deliver that information.”
For those seeking more information and STD or HIV screening, there are several choices in the greater Findlay area. These include urgent care centers and hospitals.
The Hancock Public Health offices may also provide STD testing and resources. Found on County Road 140, they provide Ohioans in the Findlay area with a number of services.
Planned Parenthood of Ohio is also a viable option with their clinic in nearby Toledo, the Toledo Health Center. There are a number of services listed on their website including STD and HIV services that may include testing.
Often, clinics and health centers offer free STD testing. It is important to understand exactly what that means for that specific location as these services might have costs not listed upfront and may not be conveniently available.
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.
