It is now three years since the US recorded record-high STD rates, and efforts are on-going in Luzerne County, PA, to curb the infection rate of STIs. The latest reports indicate that chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were the most prevalent infectious diseases.
According to a 2016 report by the county specified that 954 chlamydia cases were reported that year, with a rate of 301.5 per 100,000 populations. In 2017, the number of new chlamydia cases rose by 138, taking the count to 1,092.
Disease Surveillance Report (2015-2017) showed that there was a gonorrhea rate of 39.8. Syphilis’ rate over the two years was 2.3, which was lower than Pennsylvania’s 5.7.
The Northeast Pennsylvania Regional HIV Services covers six counties including Luzerne County. The program aims to offer support to people who’ve tested positive to STDs. It also focuses on providing a full continuum of HIV/STD care so people may lead productive and healthy lives.
For STD testing services, Hazleton residents can go to the Caring Communities clinic, one along N Laurel St and another on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. The facilities may render HIV, STD, and Hepatitis C screening and testing services. You may also receive case management and prevention tools like condoms.
You can also head to the Planned Parenthood Health Center in Wilkes-Barre, N Main St. You may get screened, tested, and treated for the common STIs. The Wyoming Valley AIDS Council clinic at 330 Bowman St is also an option.
Other clinics in Hazleton may offer free STD testing. However, not all tests may be free and doctor consultation might be an extra charge.
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.
