The STD rates in the country have increased and raising concerns among health officials. Ellis County in Kansas has significant numbers of HIV and STDs. If prompt prevention actions are not taken, the situation might get out of hand.
According to a report by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) the STD rate in 2017 was 7.1 cases per 100,000 populations. That's the highest margin since 2002 when the rate was slightly above 2.0.
Additionally, data offered by County Health Rankings & Roadmaps indicated that there were no HIV cases in 2013. However, in 2015, county health officials reported seven (7) new incidences with a rate of 29.0.
Let's Stop HIV Together is a campaign that focuses on organizing community outreach programs, removing HIV stigma and risk reduction among sexually active individuals. This initiative embodies every individual and organization in the HIV community to ensure PLWHA receive medical care, stop the discrimination, and help HIV+ live longer and healthier.
Hays residents who'd like to get tested and know their HIV/STD status can visit the Kansas Department of Health and Environment STD clinic (Ellis County) which runs under the Fort Hays State University at 600 Park.
Furthermore, you may visit the University of Kansas University Health System clinic situated along Vine Ste 20, Big Creek Crossing and the First Care Clinic on W 13th St.
Other clinics within Hays town may provide low-cost or free STD testing services. Some of the disadvantages of these services include clients may end up paying for particular testing and screening services. Furthermore, you may not have walk-in options, and the doctor may not be available during the time of your visit.
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.
