Glen Burnie is part of the Baltimore metropolitan area, and Baltimore has some of the highest STD rates in the country. Glen Burnie’s rates are not quite as high. In 2015, there were 1,378 people living with HIV or AIDS in Anne Arundel County, with a prevalence rate of 292 per 100K people.
This is lower than the surrounding counties, but health officials are concerned about the rates and urge all sexually active people to always use protection, and to get tested regularly, even if they don’t have any symptoms.
In 2017, Anne Arundel County had 2,234 chlamydia cases, at a rate of 389.7 per 100K people. This is lower than Maryland’s rate of 552.1, but the bad news is that it’s been going up. The 2017 gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 101.7 and 5.9.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Glen Burnie, and even more options in the surrounding areas. At least one public clinic provides free STD testing for HIV only. The Anne Arundel County Department of Health does STI screening and treatment. You can find them on A St SW.
Chase Brexton provides STI and HIV screening and treatment at a low cost at their clinic on Hospital Drive. CVS MinuteClinic provides basic STD screenings at several locations.
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.

Since 2014, Glen Burnie has been administering free HIV tests in honor of National HIV Testing Day. Starting in 2015 the number of young adults contracting HIV began to rise in Glen Burnie. As of 2012, 39% of the young people that tested positive for HIV were between the ages of 20 to 29 years old. Just two years prior, the percentage of people in that age group diagnosed with HIV was lower than 30%. The increase in HIV positive diagnoses seemed to be concentrated in heterosexual women and homosexual men.
As a result of these rising numbers, churches in Glen Burnie have since begun to promote World AIDS day and encourage people who may have been put at risk to get themselves tested. Schools throughout Glen Burnie responded to the increase in HIV diagnoses by changing their health curriculum plans to include providing education on STDS, including HIV.
Outreach workers in Glen Burnie and beyond then began to focus on making HIV testing easy and convenient for young people to obtain. One way that they did this was by rolling out a mobile HIV testing van, in order to travel to those who need the services but don’t have the means to acquire them. Workers also made it a point to frequent areas where young people are, and hand out condoms to everyone for free. Obtaining HIV counseling in Glen Burnie is now something that young people can easily do.
Thanks to efforts made by community leaders and educational organizations there is no need for anyone in Glen Burnie to feel like they will be harshly judged for needed to undergo testing for STDs.

Teenagers and young adults are encouraged to become proactive when it comes to their sexual health and the health of the people they care for the most. Education and resources are always attainable for anyone in need. The negative stigma surrounding testing for HIV and other diseases is being eliminated from the local culture.
