There has been a rise in sexually transmitted diseases means all sexually active persons should pay attention to their sexual health through safe practices, regular testing, and early treatment when necessary.
Between the years 2012 and 2016 the average cases for chlamydia in Ingham County were 1,815 per year. In 2017 this rose to 1,919 cases. Gonorrhea cases increased from 477 to 563 in 2017 from the prior year averages. And syphilis cases rose from 24 average cases between 2012 and 2016 to 56 cases in 2017.
Syphilis appears to be more on the rise than other STDs, though gonorrhea is becoming more resistant to antibiotic treatments. These trends are alarming and mean extra caution should be taken in caring for one’s sexual health.
Some preventative measures have been tested and seen success, like the reduction in chlamydia seen after screening options were offered in high schools.
Lansing has ample testing options to choose from that include public and private STD clinics. The Ingham County Health Department has multiple locations throughout the city. Planned Parenthood Mid and South Michigan can be found on North Clippert Street and the Lansing Area AIDS Network is situated on West Holmes Road.
Free STD testing dates are publicized on the city and county health departments websites. Due to the typically large response you are not guaranteed an appointment and may have to wait for hours in line.
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.

STD reports are made public so anyone with an interest can find out about the rates in their local area. Hospitals, physicians and clinics all forward important demographic data for each client that gets STD testing done at their facilities. Strict laws protect privacy so confidentiality is always maintained and no names or other information that could identify a person are shared. They use gender, age, ethnicity, financial status and the type of test/results to generate reports. These are used to monitor the health of each area within the nation. A database is maintained and comparisons are made to analyze problem areas so local health departments can take the appropriate actions to help raise community awareness about sexual health.
Analysis of this information has been useful in breaking the data down into reports that are meaningful in terms of determining who has the highest frequency of positive testing results for each STD. Patterns have emerged over the last decade and have remained amazingly consistent. The numbers are rising but the same groups lead the numbers. From these reports we know that women are diagnosed with Chlamydia twice as often as men and that the age most vulnerable for both genders is between twenty and twenty four years with those in the teens placing second in frequency.

505 N Clippert St, Lansing, MI 48912, USA
According to the facts as reported over the past decade, people with the highest STD rates are Blacks who have the greatest frequency, American Indians/Alaskan Natives and Hispanics. This does not mean that being of this ethnicity automatically puts you in a risk category, it simply means that this is where the highest number of positive test results are generated. Age, financial status and other demographics show who is consistently being infected but the overriding factor that leads to STD infection is sexual behavior.
Unprotected sex is the leading risk factor for getting an STD and it does not depend on a race, gender or age. It is universal and anyone who takes this risk may end up with an STD.
Gonorrhea rates are slightly in men than women.
It is believed that poverty has a significant effect on the number of individuals who seek and receive STD testing and follow up treatment when needed. This is because there is often a lack of information available to them on prevention methods and safe sex practices. A secondary factor is the lack of finances to secure quality health care for testing and treatment. Finally, people who are not exposed to educational resources may not know that there are resources available which have been designated for their use. There are many people who are in high risk categories who do not get tested. The numbers may seem high now, but if everyone who is contributing to the epidemic would get testing, the numbers would rise even higher before the trend could be reversed with safer practices.
STD clinics are in existence in this area and they offer private and confidential testing with professionally staffed labs. Free testing centers may be accessed by people who do not have the means to pay the full cost of STD testing services and they may qualify for either free or reduced rates. More people need to be informed and encouraged to get their testing done. This is the only way that the current explosion in STD rates is going to come down.
Become educated on sexual health and the signs and symptoms for each type of STD that is prolific in your area. If you have any of these, you should get tested immediately. If you believe that you may have been exposed because of sexual contact with someone whose sexual health or monogamy you cannot verify, your risk has gone up and you should get tested.
Ordering STD testing could not be easier and it takes a few moments of your time to stop by a local lab to finish the process. Your privacy is protected so you can rest easy that the testing and results will be delivered with complete confidentiality. Put away any concerns and take all measures to protect your health by taking the steps that will help you to know for certain. If you know someone, perhaps a friend or relative who is worried that they may have been exposed to an STD, share this information with them and encourage them to get their testing done. There is no shame in protecting your health so you can enjoy a brighter and healthier future without the worry. Find out for yourself how hassle free the process is.
