Kettering, Ohio, is Dayton’s largest suburb, and mostly in Montgomery County. The Montgomery County HIV prevalence rate in 2015 was 245 per 100K people, and this statistic worries health officials, who are working on ways to bring the numbers down.
They encourage doctors to talk with their patients about STDs, saying lack of education is a major problem. Many people who are infected don’t know it, and they could be passing on the diseases to others.
In 2017, there were 3,156 chlamydia cases in Montgomery County, at a rate of 594.1 per 100K people. The rates for gonorrhea and syphilis were 253.4 and 17.3. There were two cases of congenital syphilis.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Kettering, and even more options in Dayton if you can get there (it’s often easier to find free STD testing in larger cities as well). South Community, on Kettering Blvd, does STD screening (they also have other locations).
The Little Clinic screens and treats STIs, and they have several locations. Dayton’s Planned Parenthood is on Wilkinson St, and they test for STDs and treat all except HIV, at a low cost that depends on your income.
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.

Comprehensive sexual education and HIV education are both required in the state of Ohio. However, despite the mandate for sexual education programs in local schools, there are no standards administered by the state government. For example, local programs are not required to be medically accurate, age appropriate or culturally unbiased. Ohio parents also have the ability to opt-out of sexual education programs for their children.
Ohio favors local control, or “home rule,” for programs like sexual education. This means that local school boards govern how sexual education programs are run in local schools. School boards determine the curriculum, set standards and effectively decide how attention is brought to the issue of sexual health.
Local schools in the Kettering School District include Kettering Fairmont High School, Van Buren and Kettering middle schools, and eight elementary schools (Beavertown, Greenmont, Indian Riffle, J.E. Prass, J.F. Kennedy, Oakview, Orchard Park, and Southdale). Sexual education topics are discussed as part of students’ health curriculum. Lessons vary based on the age and grade of students.
For sexual education resources outside local schools, resources are available at Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region. Comprehensive educational materials can be found here as well as training opportunities and one-on-one consultations.
In 2016, Ohio’s highest Chlamydia rates were reported among individuals aged 20 to 24 years old. The age group also showed the most significant increases over the period 2012-2016. In 2016, 23,271 cases were reported among individuals in the age group. African Americans displayed the highest rates among various ethnic groups. In fact, 1 in every 3 cases of Chlamydia in Ohio were reported among African Americans.
Gonorrhea cases were split equally between males and females in 2016. However, the rate among males has been moving more clearly in the upward direction since 2012. Again, African Americans exhibited the majority of the state’s cases. 52% of the total cases were reported among African Americans. The 20-24 age group showed the highest rates, but high rates were spread evenly across age groups.
Most Syphilis cases in Ohio were reported among men, and the male rate has increased by 62.5% since 2012. African Americans showed the most cases. Teens and young adults (aged 15-29) had the highest rates, but rates were similar across age groups.
79% of newly diagnosed HIV cases were reported among males. The rate was highest among the 15-19 and 20-25 age groups. African Americans composed 52% of the cases, and whites represented 39% of the cases. The male-to-male sex (MSM) transmission category was responsible for the greatest number of cases.
There is no shortage of STD testing resources in the Kettering area. STD testing can be found at Montgomery County’s STD clinic, Planned Parenthood or at one of the many health clinics in the area.

Recent STD spikes in the Kettering area are very alarming. The Chlamydia and Syphilis rates in Montgomery County both increased by 30% from 2015 to 2016, and the Gonorrhea rate increased by 13%. Across the state of Ohio, county health departments are dealing with increased rates.
