Maple Valley, a city in King County, serves mainly as a commuter town. Over the past few years, King County has experienced a rise in several STDs.
In 2016, 9,400 residents of King County experienced a case of chlamydia. By 2018, this yearly figure increased to 10,476 cases, a 10% increase. More worryingly, gonorrhea cases spiked, with a 25% increase in the number of cases recorded between 2016 and 2018.
Syphilis cases also increased by 26.5%, with primary and secondary syphilis cases in King County increasing from 292 recorded cases to 397 in 2018.
Thankfully, herpes prevalence has drastically reduced from 739 cases, and a prevalence rate of 35.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016 to just 15 recorded cases in 2018.
King County Public Health Department offers a range of vital STD prevention, testing, and education services to curb the rise in commonly transmitted diseases, and work to reduce the impact of STD epidemics such as herpes.
The HIV/STD Program runs from 5th Avenue in Seattle, WA, and the Harborview Medical Center STD clinic on Jefferson St, Seattle, are just two initiatives available to King County residents that provide STD and HIV/AIDS education, PrEP, and Ryan White HIV care services.
Several locations in King County can test and treat common STD infections experienced by King County residents, including the Planned Parenthoods of Western Washington in Bellevue and Federal Way, as well as HealthPoint Community Health Centers across the county.
Some clinics may offer low-cost or free STD testing, alongside community outreach and prevention services, but bookable appointments might not be an option, and you may experience long wait times as a result.
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.
SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.
Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.
