Health data from the Maryland Department of Health indicates HIV cases are still prevalent in Prince George's County, where Lanham, MD, is an unincorporated community.
Approximately 7,926 individuals were living with HIV in 2019, and in the same year, the health department recorded 289 new HIV cases. Out of the 289 new HIV diagnoses, young adults between 20 to 29 years old comprised 32.9 percent of the infections.
The disease infection specialists noted the apparent rise of STDs in Prince George's County and attributed it to increased screening rather than an actual jump in the infections. Chlamydia infections rose from 6,153 in 2015 to 6,752 in 2016.
The same case was seen in Gonorrhea infections, which shot from 1,282 in 2015 to 1,832 in 2016. Approximately 81 persons were diagnosed with Syphilis in 2015, and at the end of 2016, the figure had rose to 110.
To achieve a sustainable and effective solution to HIV/STIs in Prince George's County, the health administrators from Prince George's County Health Department conduct STI surveillance, monitor disease trends, and execute evidence-based practices. This ensures resources are effectively utilized to address the disparities of impacted individuals.
Suppose you are a resident or visiting Lanham, MD. In that case, there are many clinics in this area, such as Planned Parenthood - Carol Whitehill Moses Center and Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center, where you can get tested for an STD or HIV.
You can consider clinics such as Express Healthcare, LLC if you prefer to walk in without booking an appointment.
While you may be lucky to receive free STD testing in some of the abovementioned clinics, it's important to remember that they may not offer medications or treatment if you get STD/HIV-positive results. Also, some clinics may prioritize marginalized communities such as the LGBTQ+ groups.
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.
