McComb, MS, is a town in Pike County whose health records showed a drop in the HIV prevalence rate from 148 in 2019 to 137 per 100,000 persons in 2020.
There was an unsettled pattern in Chlamydia infections in the county over the years. In 2018, there were 293 positive cases occurring at a rate of 740.6, which decreased from the previous year that had 324 incidents at a prevalence rate of 820.9 per 100,000 individuals.

The county reported few cases of Primary and Secondary Syphilis. There were three diagnoses at an occurrence rate of 7.6 in 2017 and then surged to five at a prevalence rate of 12.6 in the following year.
The Pike County Health Department has developed an STD/HIV surveillance program that monitors disease trends and links the diagnosed individuals to services for disease prevention and control. It provides rapid STD/HIV testing in cooperation with community health centers, alcohol and drug centers, and community-based organizations.
Some of the city's clinics offering comprehensive STD services include Southwest Mississippi Regional, STATCare PLLC, and Planned Parenthood - Hattiesburg Health Center.
Even though free STD testing may be available in some clinics in the city, some may not have a range of payment options for chargeable services, or some clinics may have inconvenient operational hours.
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.
