On a list of the most sexually diseased cities in the US, Lawton ranks at #50. That may be partially due to the presence of the Fort Sill Military Reservation. Active military bases tend to drive up STD rates in their host counties for all the reasons one would suspect.
Health officials are especially concerned about the rise of gonorrhea and syphilis. Syphilis was under control in the US a short decade ago, but it has made a comeback in recent years, mainly due to decreasing condom use. Gonorrhea is becoming resistant to the only medication available to treat it.
In 2016, the HIV prevalence rate in Comanche County was 181.2 per 100K people, almost equal to the Oklahoma rate of 183.8. Over 80% of HIV-positive individuals in Oklahoma are men.
That same year, Comanche County’s chlamydia rate was 895.3, well above Oklahoma’s rate of 548.4. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 324.1 and 11.2.
The Comanche County Health Department on Sheridan Rd provides STI testing. There are some nonprofits in the area that provide free STD testing, but only for HIV and hep C. And the Southwest Oklahoma Family Medicine Residency and Clinic tests for and treats HIV and hep C as well for a fee.
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.

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.

There are several reasons why the number of sexually transmitted infections reported each year continues to rise, but the main one is the simple lack of available information.
It is not uncommon for students to graduate never knowing how STDs are spread or that there are steps they can take to protect themselves. Most students do not understand how important it is to always use a condom, and some aren’t even sure how to put one on. Since the importance of regular testing is also not discussed, most teens and young adults have never been checked for a STD.
The city’s rural location is also contributing to the problem. Its smaller population means less funding from the state, and this is making it difficult for many of the city’s lower income residents to afford regular testing. There have also been budget cuts to many of the clinics in the area, due to the anti-abortion push.
With fewer clinics open to serve residents many are finding it impossible to get tested, even once a year.
Until lawmakers and residents acknowledge that STDs are a serious problem in the city, the rates will continue to rise putting everyone at risk.
Before you start exploring the wide open spaces around the city or tour one of the small colleges it is important to take a few minutes to take care of your sexual health. If you can’t find a HIV or AIDS testing center near you or don’t want to spend the entire day waiting in line, try a STI clinic. Private and affordable, you usually don’t have to wait longer than a day to get your results, discreetly.
