Fairfax County Health Department aims to reduce HIV/STD occurrences among its communities. It facilitates access to vaccines that prevent Hepatitis A/B and HPV and low-cost STD and HIV testing. The clinic also offers timely treatment for people diagnosed with an STI to protect them from adverse effects of the infections such as infertility, blindness, and reproductive health problems.
One of the prevention measures the CDC recommends is frequent STI screening; hence, the need to regularly visit a public health facility that provides free STD testing and counseling. But, doctor consultation services might attract a fee payable at reduced rates depending on your income and welfare eligibility.
HIV/STD services such as medical care, case management, and preventive care are available in several medical centers, including STD Express Clinic, Express Healthcare-Falls Church, Inova Juniper Program-Fairfax, and Planned parenthood in Carol Whitehill Moses Center.
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.
