Health officials in Northern Colorado are worried about the spike in STD rates, especially gonorrhea. In Weld County, the gonorrhea rate went up 384% in three years: from 27 in 2015 to 129 in 2018, per 100K people. The 2018 chlamydia rate was 441.
Health experts say “hook-up aps” are partly to blame, and they recommend that all sexually active people talk about STIs with their partners, always use protection, and get tested regularly.
Many STIs have no symptoms in the early stages (when they are easy to treat), so many people don’t know they are infected.
In 2015, HIV had a prevalence rate of 77 per 100K people, and it has remained more or less stable.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Greeley, and even more in the surrounding area. At least one student center offers free STD testing, but only for HIV. The Weld County Department of Public Health tests for HIV and other STDs in their clinic on 17th Ave.
The University of Colorado Hospital, through their HIV/AIDS Clinical Program, tests for and treats HIV, and they have experimental treatments available. The nearest clinic in is Loveland, on Foxtail Dr.
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.

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.

In answer to the rising STD rates in Weld County and across the state, lawmakers have made sweeping changes to the sex education programs currently taught in the public schools.
The changes started in 2009 when the state began handing out birth control to young women and has recently continued into the classroom with updated information being included into the sex education classes. In just a few short years after starting the free birth control program teen pregnancy rates dropped dramatically and lawmakers are hopeful that the newly updated sex education programs will have the same effect on the area’s STD rates.
Already Gonorrhea rates in young women are dropping across all ethnicities, and newly reported cases of HIV are also decreasing in frequency. This does not mean that regular HIV testing in Greeley is no longer important, in fact the simple procedure still remains one of the best ways to prevent the spread of this disease.
Regular Herpes testing in Greeley is also important, especially since the virus is prevalent in local high schools. The test only takes a couple of minutes, and it should be a part of every student’s health care routine.

Its rural location and smaller population often means less funding from state and federal governments for city health clinics. The lack of adequate funding has resulted in not enough STI testing centers to effectively treat all residents, especially those who cannot afford to pay.
Lower income families are not only finding it difficult to find a STI clinic, it is also difficult for them to afford regular testing. Without help from outside sources, many residents are finding that now that testing is not covered under Medicare they simply do not have the money to cover this additional expense.
Adding to the problem is the sharp increase in intravenous drug use, especially among adults. This illicit behavior is also being blamed for the rise in HIV/AIDS rates, along with those for infectious, primary and secondary Syphilis. While some lawmakers are pushing for a needle exchange program to be implemented, most agree that this would only be a temporary solution to the problem.
With STD rates rising across the city and county, it is important that everyone takes a few minutes to consider their sexual health. Mobile STD testing isn’t always reliable, and HIV facilities aren’t able to help you remain anonymous. STI clinics are quickly becoming the first choice. They’re affordable and discreet. Quickly stop by, and then relax on the nearby South Platte River.
