First settled in 1797 in the heart of Lake County, Ohio, Mentor currently has a population of about 47,121 people. It is home to the Headlands Beach State Park, Squire’s Castle and the James A. Garfield National Historic Site. The city is also home to hundreds of people diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease each year.
In 2017, 156 males and 35 females were diagnosed as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) positive in the Mentor area. The Lake County Health Department also reports five cases of Syphilis in 2014 while 15 people were diagnosed with the disease in Mentor in 2017.
Chlamydia infections, which can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease in females if left untreated, were the most prevalent in Lake County with 770 cases reported in 2018, an increase of 63 cases since 2014.
Residents in the Mentor area can be encouraged, though, by the fact that there are six clinics and centers in the area that offer testing for all sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Three of those offer both private and free STD testing, although there are drawbacks to free clinics. It can be difficult to get an appointment in a timely manner and same-day testing is not always offered. There may also be unforeseen charges, bookable appointments may not be available, and there may not be a doctor on site for treatment.
Family Planning is one of the main STD testing sites in the Mentor area and located nearby are the Walgreens Health Clinic and the Lake County General Health District that also offer screenings for STDs.
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.

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.
