The 2017 Infectious Disease Morbidity Report indicates that the most infectious diseases in Millcreek, Salt Lake County are STDs with Chlamydia and Gonorrhea at the top of the list.
More than 5,300 Chlamydia cases were reported in 2017 with an incidence rate of 478.9 percent per 100,000 persons, while in 2010 it had an incidence rate of 300 percent per 100,000 persons. Majority of the cases reported were rampant between the 15 and 24 year age group.
Gonorrhea infections shot to a rate of 149.1 percent in 2017 from a rate of 20 percent in 2010. Gonorrhea cases have been rising with 1,672 cases reported in 2017, translating to a 149.1 percent incidence rate, surpassing the regional average in Salt Lake County.
To reduce the rates of STIs, the County Department of Health works closely with the local health departments by developing an initiative for providing technical assistance and capacity building to all 13 health districts. Additionally, the program supports public county laboratories to ensure timely and reliable STD laboratory services.
Reputable medical centers such as the South Main Public Health Centre, Millcreek Health Center, and Utah Department of Health offer excellent health care services to all local residents.
Free testing services, free quality condoms, partner counseling services, and PREP availability for those at risk of HIV exposure may be provided by some of the clinics. However, they are usually dependent on the income and welfare eligibility of the residents.
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.

“We’ve been culturally watered down to think we have to teach about sex, about having sex and how to get away with it, which is intellectually dishonest.” So said Utah State Representative Bill Wright.
Wright is the sponsor of the bill to allow Utah schools to drop sex education classes. The bill also prohibits instructions in the use of contraception in those schools that keep courses.
“Why don’t we just be honest with them upfront that sex outside marriage is devastating?” he continued. Some in the state oppose the bill.
“You cannot speak of abstinence without talking to students about methods of birth control that are not certain, about protecting oneself from [sexually transmitted diseases] and all the things that can happen in a negative sense to a young person who engages in sex,” said Representative Carol Spackman Moss in voicing her opposition.
“It’s really immoral not to teach kids about what the consequences are,” she continued. In discussing the bill, what passed in the House is a version allowing schools to forgo teaching about sex entirely. It also prohibits schools that continue to teach sex education from instructing students in “the use of contraceptive methods or devices.”
This is the kind of discussion happening in your state. Some in the state want to prohibit instruction that encourages use of contraceptives but teachers could respond to student questions about the subject.
Some want a law that requires high schools to teach sex education, allowing them to choose whether to stress abstinence or teach abstinence-only. Some want to allow for adequate local control and let parents have the choice not to put a child in sex education.
The state school board stopped approval of a program from Planned Parenthood after complaints. The Planned Parenthood program taught about puberty to students in grades five and six.
Demographics play a role in the number of STDs in your area. Lynn Beltran is the epidemiology supervisor of the Salt Lake County Health Department.
She noted that the majority of infections are among white men and women who are 15-34 years old. This is based on interviews with patients and their sexual partners.
She states that historically STDs have been disproportionately prevalent in black and Hispanic communities. STDs also tend to be more prevalent in people with a history of incarceration and men who have with men.
In Utah Beltran notes that the gonorrhea outbreak seems to be increasing fastest in the general population. A significant portion of patients are also being diagnosed at hospitals. They are also being diagnosed at clinics.
While anyone who is sexually active is at risk for getting an STD, women, youth, and people of color are generally more likely to become infected. For women, STDs pass more easily from men to women than vice versa, which results in higher female rates of infection.
The racial makeup of your area includes 87 percent white, 9 percent Hispanic or Latino, 3 percent Asian, and 1.5 percent African American. Two or more races comprise 3 percent of the population.
There are STI testing resources available to you in your area. Let’s look at some of the facilities in the area where you can get STI testing. Remember that STI stands for sexually transmitted infection or another term for STD or sexually transmitted disease.
