In 2016, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported record-high STD cases, which is an alarming trend. The same is the situation in Kearny town in Hudson County, New Jersey.
According to the CDC report, STD prevalence rate has shot in Hudson County. In 2012, the morbidity rate of STIs was at 434.5 cases per 100,000 population. In 2016, STD incidences had risen by 37.5%, taking the prevalence rate to 597.5.
In a 2014 report by County Health Ranking, Hudson County registered 5,241 confirmed HIV diagnoses, with a rate of 972 incidences per 100,000 population. In 2017, the HIV rate had plummeted. It came down to 751.9, with 5,098 incidences.
The Kearny Department of Health HIV Program is a community-based division that offers HIV & AIDS prevention education to the general public. Additionally, the Hudson HIV/AIDS Planning Council aims to create treatment priorities for HIV cases and providing practical recommendations for the county health department.
You may consider several care options where you may get tested for STDs and HIV. An example is the Women’s Health and Family Planning Center on Broadway. Other facilities include the Jersey City Preventive Medicine clinic located along Summit Ave.
Alternatively, you may visit the North Hudson Community Action Health Center set on 31st Street; the Horizon Health Center on Bergen Ave, as well as the Hoboken Family Planning on Hudson Ave.
Other clinics in Kearny may provide free STD testing. However, you may be billed upfront or the doctor may be unavailable.
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.
