Just this side of the Mississippi River lies the Granite City, IL. This community lies on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, just over the state line from Missouri. It is a part of Madison County and is currently recovering from an upswing in STD and HIV prevalence rates.
During the five-year period from 2013 to 2017, this area saw a rise in these rates. In fact, STD rates rose by 9.3% while HIV rates climbed by 13.7%.
However, from 2017 to 2018, ramped up efforts to inform and educate the public in this community caused these numbers to drop. During that one year, STD prevalence rates fell by 1.8% and HIV rates dropped by a whopping 21.6%. Yet, the first half of 2019 shows those numbers on the rise again.
The start of 2019 is marred by increasing STD rates in our little community. Granite City has got to stand firm in its resolve to eradicate these diseases.
Whether from the Bellemore Area, Downtown, or the Nameoki Strip those in Granite City looking for screening have a number of choices.
Central West End Health Care on Forest Park Avenue in Saint Louis is part of Planned Parenthood and may offer STD and HIV screenings. Another is the Madison County AIDS Program located at Coordinated Youth and Human Services on Madison Avenue in Granite City.
Madison Avenue is also where residents will find the McKinley Health Center. It is part of Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation.
Some clinics offer free STD testing. Just remember that these free services may not accept appointments, might not provide immediate results, and could require a fee for doctor 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.
