STD rates are on the rise in many communities across the country, including in Leland and other Brunswick County cities. In fact, recent STD reports show a significant increase in the number of newly reported chlamydia and gonorrhea cases in the county from 2015 to 2019.
According to state records, chlamydia rates in Brunswick County jumped by over 49% as the number of new cases rose from 316 in 2015 to 472 in 2019. The number of newly diagnosed gonorrhea cases, on the other hand, spiked by more than 47% as the number of new cases increased from 112 cases in 2015 to 165 cases in 2019.
After seeing early-stage syphilis cases in Brunswick County cut in half from 2015 to 2016, as the number of newly reported cases dropped from 6 in 2015 to 3 in 2016, these numbers have steadily increased over the last three years with a total of 7 newly diagnosed early-stage syphilis cases in 2019.
Brunswick County 2018 Surveillance reports revealed that there were 214 residents in Leland and other cities in the county living with HIV as of December 31, 2018.
Fortunately, Leland is home to several possible STD and HIV testing locations, including Wilmington Health at Leland and NHRMC ExpressCare. Residents can also travel to nearby Wilmington or Bolivia for additional HIV and STD testing options, including the Brunswick County Health Department and Planned Parenthood – Wilmington Health Center.
While some clinics may advertise free STD testing, oftentimes patients must meet strict income guidelines to be eligible for free services. In addition, some testing centers only have walk-in appointments, which can lead to long wait times.
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.
