Long Beach, NY, is in the midst of an STD crisis that’s taking a toll on the seaside city in Nassau County.
The area’s chlamydia rate increased from 284 per 100,000 people in 2015 to 365 in 2017. Of the 4,561 new 2017 diagnoses, 2,954 were women, and 1,929 were teens and young adults ages 15 to 24.
Gonorrhea infections are also rising with 509 new cases in 2015 jumping to 717 in 2017. Of the 717 new diagnoses in 2017, 524 were men.
Health care providers in Nassau County are working to address the barriers to reducing the area’s growing STD rates by increasing access to education, testing, treatment, and follow-up services. Research shows most obstacles for the public is financial and access to care.
There are several locations that provide comprehensive STD testing near Long Beach. Many sites also include treatment and follow-up services. NuHealth operates a federally qualified health center in Freeport on S Bergen Pl. Off-street parking is available.
In Far Rockaway, the AIDS Center of Queens County offers STI services on the corner of Smith Pl and Foam Pl.

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.
