Indian Trail, NC is a suburb of Charlotte with a rich history and sense of community. Recently, this area has seen an upswing in the prevalence rates of STDs and HIV that were once receding.
In fact, during the five years from 2013 to 2017, STD prevalence rates rose by 23.8%. This is in excess of North Carolina’s increase of only 8.6% meaning that more people per capita in Indian Trail contracted STDs than throughout the entire state.
The prevalence rates for HIV also increased although not as drastically as those for STDs. They also did not surpass the state increase of 7.2%. Indian Trail saw a 4.6% increase instead.
“As STDs go, Indian Trail and all of Union County are sliding backward. Years of declining STD rates, we are seeing a resurgence that may lead to a severe health crisis for our community.”
There are several clinics in the area surrounding Indian Trail, NC where STD and HIV screenings can be done. Many of these may also offer treatment and support resources as well.
First, is the Union County Health Department. It can be found on Concord Avenue in Monroe and offers services for all who live in Union County, which includes Indian Trail.
Next, is the Charlotte Health Center. This branch of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic offers a number of services and can be found at their new location in Kingsview Medical Center on South Torrence Street in the Cherry area of Charlotte.
Charlotte is also where the Carolinas CARE Partnership is located. Their offices in Idlewild Farms provide a number of services that may include HIV and STD testing.
Often, clinics offer free STD testing that may seem ideal but often have a number of unexpected negatives. For instance, there may be no walk-in option, no doctor on-site, or result may not be immediate. It is important to know what “free” means.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.
