Huntington, IN, has had moderate HIV/STD infections over the past few years. There were 80 new HIV cases reported in the city at the end of 2018.
Chlamydia was the most pervasive STI infection among Huntington's residents. Fortunately, the county health government managed to flatten the curve, and between 2014 and 2018, the infections almost remained constant with 93 and 91 cases, respectively.
There was a dramatic increase in Gonorrhea cases from 7 in 2014 to 25 in 2014. The infections were slightly higher in men compared to women.
However, for Syphilis, there were no reported cases in 2018.
The County Health Department of Huntington county has placed major intervention strategies to lower HIV/STD infections in the county. Some of the interventions include capacity building, out-reach with STD/HIV screening and testing, prenatal infection prevention programs, and training on matters to do with HIV and STD. There have also been the implementation of condom distribution programs around the county and the sensitization of influential groups, such as MSM, IDU, and heterosexual, to prevent further infections.
Planned Parenthood- Huntington Health center and Reliant Urgent Care - Huntington Park are some of the health facilities residents can check their sexual health. There are more facilities where they can also access STD/HIV services, including Parkview Huntington Hospital and John H. Stroger, Jr Hospital of Cook County.
Dedicated to maintaining residents' sexual health, several clinics offer free STD testing in Huntington. However, doctors' consultation may not be available, and the free test may be based on income and welfare eligibility.
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.
