Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have been on the rise in El Paso County, causing worry among the county health officials. The medical officials highlighted chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis as some of the most rampantly reported STIs.
According to the El Paso County Department of Health, between 2014 and 2016, the rates of chlamydia had spiked by 44%. That translated to an astounding transmission rate of 542.0 per 100,000 populations.
Additionally, gonorrhea incidences rose by 75% over the same period, bringing the morbidity rate to 135.0. Surprisingly, syphilis rates rose three-fold. At the start of 2017, the syphilis rate was 10.1.
For over 30 years, the Southern Colorado AIDS Project (SCAP) has intervened in the fight against STDs/HIV by providing personalized services to every individual living with HIV/AIDS. Today, SCAP expends HIV-oriented programs in 25 counties including El Paso County.
There are many testing centers where you may receive STD care. The El Paso County Public Health clinic situated at 1675 W Garden of Gods Rd may provide a wide range of services including HIV/STD testing, counseling, and prevention education. You may also receive case management and family planning services.
You can also visit one of the Peak Vista Community Health Center at 350 Lyckman Dr or the other outlets around Colorado Springs. Alternatively, visit the Planned Parenthood Clinic along Centennial Blvd, Colorado Springs. The clinic may provide STD testing, and treatment services, Hep immunization, and abortion care.
Other clinics in Fountain may provide free STD testing, but results may take longer to be expedited. Additionally, bookable appointments may not be an option and you may be charged to see a doctor for consultation.
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.
