Inver Grove Heights, MN is the fifth largest city in Dakota County, for which STD statistics are available, and overall STDs are the most common reportable disease in the county with rates on an upward trajectory. In 2017, the number of reported cases in Dakota County was 1,887 whereas it was 1,680 in 2016.
In 2017, the majority of these cases were of chlamydia (1,506), with the rate of infection having increased by 45% since 2013, affecting people of color and those aged 20-24 more than any other cohort in the respective categories. And almost twice as many females as males were diagnosed with the disease. Overall, however, figures were still slightly below state averages.
20-24 year-olds were also the age group that was most affected by gonorrhea, accounting for 30% of all cases.
“In 2013, 53% of Dakota County ninth-graders who were sexually active did not talk to every partner about protection against STDs. This dropped to 46% in 2016, and was below the statewide rate of 49%. The proportion of ninth-graders in Dakota County who reported not using a condom increased slightly over this period from 38% to 39%.”
Inver Grove Heights, MN residents can seek STD testing at the Dakota County Health Department or there is a Planned Parenthood in Apple Valley, MN.

Low-cost and free STD testing may be available but bear in mind that a doctor consultation might not be possible or may be an extra charge in some places.
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.
