Lafayette, CO, a city in Boulder County, is fighting an STD epidemic.
In 2016, the county reported 1,241 chlamydia infections. A year later in 2017, it went up to 1,281.
Gonorrhea diagnoses are also increasing with 173 new cases in 2016, jumping to 206 in 2017.
Primary and secondary syphilis infections aren’t decreasing. In 2016, it had nine new cases, and in 2017 the number of new infections remained at nine. The county has the 14th highest rate of syphilis in the state.
State health officials are concerned about the rising STD rates in Boulder County and are asking all sexually active individuals to get tested and seek treatment when necessary to prevent the spread of these diseases.
Several locations offer STD testing in Lafayette and the nearby areas. Most of these sites include treatment and follow-up care.
One option is the Clinica Family Health Services at the Lafayette Medical Clinic on the corner of S Public Rd and Ferguson Cir.
Another choice is Boulder Community Health at the Beacon Center for Infectious Diseases on the corner of 48th St and Riverbend Rd.
The Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center on Valmont Rd provides STI screenings. Off-street parking is available.
Additionally, there’s the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains at the Boulder Health Center on Arapahoe Ave. The clinic is inside the Village Boulder Shopping Center.
Some of these locations might provide free STD testing. Proof of income may be required, and treatment could be an additional charge.
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.
