Medina City, nestled between Cleveland and Akron, is the county seat of Medina and susceptible to the same rising STD epidemics as these larger cities. In 2017, Medina County had 837 reported cases of STDs, a dramatic increase of 24.8% in comparison to its historical 5-year average of 670.8 cases.
Of those recorded, 383 were cases of chlamydia, a 19.7% increase compared to the historic 5-year average of 320 cases. In terms of monthly trends throughout the year, March and December had the highest reported figures in 2017.
Factors such as age and gender are critical considerations, with females accounting for 58.8% of all cases reported in 2017 and the highest number of cases recorded in the 15-24 age group, indicating a significant need for young people to receive more sexual health education, support, and services.
Several initiatives exist to help prevent younger Medina residents from contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including early intervention services and education provided by the Bexar County Department of Community Resources Ryan White Program and the South Texas Family AIDS Network.
Some facilities such as the Alamo Area Resource Center offer a variety of STD tests and support services for specific clientele such as HIV-positive, but some centers cater to the general public.
Available clinics in Medina include the Planned Parenthood on 4018 Medina Road and the Medina Health Center on 4800 Ledgewood Drive.
A few clinics in the area could offer low-cost or even free STD testing, but appointments can be scarce, and clinics may not always have doctors on-site or provide follow-up care.
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.

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.
