“One community, around the lake” is the motto of Lake Stevens, WA. This Snohomish County city wraps around the northern shore of the lake for which it is named, Lake Stevens. This picturesque community is currently struggling with a rapid upswing in HIV and STD prevalence rates.
During the five-year period from 2014 to 2018, Lake Stevens saw an 18.4% increase in STD prevalence rates and a massive 31.8% growth in HIV rates. While this HIV increase far exceeds the 8.9% rise experienced by the state of Washington as a whole during this period, the percentage of growth in the STD rate was in line with that of the state.
Furthermore, in the first two quarters of 2019, the STD prevalence rate in Lake Stevens grew by 12.1% from what it was at the end of 2018. This indicates a continued upward momentum of those rates.
The growing STD crisis in America is evident in the small community of Lake Stevens.
Lake Stevens residents who wish to be tested for STDs or HIV can choose from a number of possible providers. Snohomish Health District’s Communicable Disease Division on Rucker Avenue in Everett is one of these possibilities.
Also in Everett is Evergreen Wellness Advocates. Their offices on Oakes Avenue may provide those kinds of screenings.
Planned Parenthood has two offices within ten miles of Lake Stevens as well. They include the Marysville Health Center roughly seven miles northwest and the Everett Health Center about seven miles southwest.
Some clinics offer free STD testing that may have inconvenient hours and long wait times. Furthermore, this type of testing may not provide free doctor consultation.
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.
