Lincoln, Rhode Island has had a constant health problem dealing with ever increasing sexually transmitted diseases in the region such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, and hepatitis. The number of bacterial infections have considerably escalated although this can be explained by radical STD testing services more available.
For the period 2005 to 2015, syphilis incidence rate has moved from 4.4 to 7.3 ranking it 13th statewide but to smile about there has been no congenital syphilis case. Chlamydia and gonorrhea rates stand at 433.6 and 55 per 100,000 listing the state 28th and 43rd respectively.
There are estimated 2,503 Rhode Islander living with HIV in 2014 up from 1,339 in 2005. Despite these, the number of newly diagnosed persons have surged from 121 in 2008 to 81 in 2017 annually. Health officials have successfully managed to deal with the viral disease with only 186 deaths from 2010 through to 2017 compared to 1,748 deaths in 1986 alone.
Rhode Island State Department of Public Health has not only made strides towards the fight against the spread of STDs, it has also advanced to the use of effective science based medication to people who test positive.
Olney Ville Health Center in Providence and Providence Community Health Centers Incorporated Capitol Health Center are some available public health facilities in Lincoln offering confidential STD services to the public.
What’s more, there are nearby local clinics that may provide free STD testing funded by the government. However, you may experience inconvenient hours of opening and operation of these clinics. Furthermore, the clinics might not test all STDs but you may be charged for some of them or consulting doctor may attract some extra 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.
