The state came second in the nation for its high reported rate of Syphilis as of September 2017, and Clark County alone is ranked in the top 20 U.S. counties for high rates of sexually transmitted diseases. In Nevada, approximately 19,500 STD cases were reported to the state just two years ago, and officials predict that the numbers grow by the thousands each year.
The number of reported STDs aren’t slowing down; in fact, they’re growing more rapidly as time goes on, especially for cases of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and primary and secondary Syphilis. These cases have been on the rise since 2012, rising more than as 293% in some cases in Las Vegas and Clark County.
The number of STD cases is especially high in adults between the ages of 20 and 29, but everyone that is sexually active should be tested.
The Southern Nevada Health District recommends that if you have one sexual partner, you should be tested once a year. If you have multiple partners, you should be screened every three to six months. The CDC recommends that all sexually active individuals should be tested for STDs at least once in their life.
There are many private and public testing centers available in Las Vegas, including Planned Parenthood on Charleston Boulevard and one on Flamingo Road. Many private options are available as well, including locations on Maryland Parkway, Rainbow Boulevard. Some even provide free STD testing to those that qualify. Unfortunately, this could mean that not everyone will be eligible for these services.
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.

Currently, the health board in Nevada offers a number of resources for people to obtain STD Testing but its education efforts have been the focus of recent and widespread criticism. When the new protocols for sex education in Clark County were released in early 2015, it was widely criticized for its abstinence-only approach. Clark County students found a novel way to air their own grievances with the county’s long standing tradition of abstinence-only sex education by participating in a news segment on the popular shows.
While the students used humor to highlight the problem with this approach to sex education, the effects of the segment on the show has created a wave of reform throughout the district. With reported cases of all STDs on the rise, the school board is beginning to realize how important high quality sex education can be in the prevention of STDs.
Both Herpes and HIV have become hot topics for medical professionals throughout the county. Currently, Nevada ranks 18th in the country for HIV cases and advocates worry a lack of education has helped the disease to spread throughout the state. Herpes, on the other hand, is an unfortunate mainstay in Sin City with several rumors and scandals involving the tenacious STD being reported for several years, including the infamous 2011 ” Herpes Run”. While this may seem like nothing more than some fodder for trashy gossip, the casual way it’s reported shows just how prevalent the condition is.
While there are plenty of options for both HIV and Herpes testing in Las Vegas, too few take the time to get it done. The Southern Nevada Health District makes it a point to advertise its services for HIV testing in Las Vegas as well as their services for case management for patients who test positive. But, as with any offering of testing and related services through public STD Clinics, many people worry about the confidentiality and privacy.
Some people may assume that the spike in STD cases is a direct result of the legalized prostitution available in Nevada, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, a study conducted in 2012 found that actors in the adult entertainment industry in Los Angeles were far more likely to have an STD than legal prostitutes in Nevada since the states requires those workers to comply with weekly STD testing in order to check for any sign of infection.
That being said, there’s no doubt that sexually transmitted diseases are still a serious issue in the city. Many people are still reluctant to get tested until they begin to see symptoms which, in some cases, signifies the infection is fairly advanced. This is especially true for younger people who don’t have the same access to quality sex education. Generally speaking residents with less access to education and other resources are more at-risk as are younger people who are also more likely to take risks such as unprotected sex. In 2013, people aged 20-29 made up more than half of all reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
