By retaining HIV patients in medical care, the Worcester County Health Department has achieved viral suppression among Grafton, MA, residents. As a result, HIV infections had reduced from 63 new infections at 9.4 in 2010 to 43 at 6.2 in 2015.
On the downside, STD infections are still increasing. In 2012, Grafton town had 31 Syphilis incidences at 3.8, which rose to 47 at 5.7 in 2015. The same trend was observed in Gonorrhea infections. In 2012, there were 230 cases at 28.5, and by the end of 2015, they had reached 298 at 36.4.
Chlamydia infections fluctuated in that period, but overall, there has been an increase. From 2,320 at 287.7 in 2012 to 1,709 at 209.7 in 2012. The rise was noted in 2015 when 2,189 cases at 267.3 were noted, which increased to 2,582 cases at 315.3 in 2016.
Worcester County Health Department has an HIV Continuum Care that links and retains newly diagnosed patients to medical care. The aim is to achieve viral suppression and prevent HIV transmission while at the same time ensuring healthy living for PLWH. It uses behavioral health and infectious disease frameworks and health data to inform health providers on how to meet better the needs of those who have been impacted by HIV/STDs.
Planned Parenthood- Massachusetts Health Center and MinuteClinic-Urgent Care are some of the walk-in clinics in Grafton where you can get HIV/STD treatment and testing. Other facilities include Umass Memorial Medical Center and Saint Vincent Hospital.
Besides, there are clinics where you can get free STD testing, although the clinics may not have a doctor’s consultation, and walk-in options may not be 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.
