Gonorrhea cases have risen to an outbreak level, with the majority of cases coming from a select few counties, including – and lead by – Hillsborough County. But the increasing STD numbers aren’t limited only to gonorrhea.
The state also reported a syphilis outbreak and 60% of the diagnosed cases came from Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties.
As STD rates explode across the country initiatives are being rolled out to combat the spread of disease. New Hampshire holds a yearly conference to promote sexual health with increased awareness and education for community health workers, health care providers, and case managers across the state. Along with providing free STD testing services and reducing stigma around sexual health, the dignity of all persons seeking care is emphasized.
While some clinics follow limited hours of operation and require full payment in cash at the time of services, others provide financial assistance and keep more flexible hours. A quick internet search for information can help you be fully prepared for your visit and make sure you are able to receive the services and care you’re looking for.
STD testing clinics are conveniently located through the Manchester area. From the Merrimack Valley Assistance Program on Lowell Street to the Manchester Community Health Center on Elm Street, it’s not difficult to locate a nearby testing center.
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.

Even though the state does support “pro-choice”, it still does not have a comprehensive sexual education program in public school districts. Schools are required to include sexual education in its curriculum, but after that the law is extremely vague.
There is no mention of whether parents can withdraw students from the classes if they feel that the information is inappropriate, nor are there any set guidelines for what is included in the program. The only format available for districts to follow includes promoting abstinence as the best method of protection against STDs and unplanned pregnancy, and that any information pertaining to HIV/AIDS must be medically accurate.
Regular Herpes testing in Manchester and HIV testing is critical for students, parents and everyone else in the city.
Even though the city is growing and attracting new businesses and residents, its demographics still remain predominantly middle class with the majority of the population listed as Caucasian. This only highlights the fact that sexually transmitted infections can happen to anyone. Statistically in other major cities the rate of STDs is higher in minorities, many of whom are at or below the poverty level. This is not true in Manchester, and only emphasizes how important regular health screenings are.
One of the contributing factors to the area’s high STD rates is the lack of regulated sexual education classes in the public school systems. Studies have conclusively shown in states where comprehensive sexual education classes are mandatory the rate of infection is significantly lower. The number of teen pregnancies is also reduced when students have the information they need regarding the use of contraceptives.
Even though the state and city are billed as being “pro-choice” recent budgets cuts have forced many clinics to close their doors. Without the necessary facilities in the city’s neighborhoods, it is difficult for residents to get the health care they need.
As you are heading to the Zimmerman House or the Currier Museum of Art, chances are you’ll pass an STI clinic. Conveniently open on Saturdays and Sundays, and able to give you same day results. You won’t even need insurance, if you wish to remain completely anonymous. Private and affordable, it is one of the easiest and smartest things you can do to stay safe from STDs.
