As property prices and rents in the bigger American cities continue to rise sky high, smaller cities across the nation are becoming hip and appealing. This is exactly what’s happening in Missoula, MT, a city located deep within the Rockies with a population of approximately 72,000.
Still, despite it’s idyllic setting, artist friendly vibe, and relaxed pace of life, residents in Montana’s Garden City still need to take good care of their sexual health.
Specialists working for the Missoula City-County Health Department have reported a sharp rise in the incidences of sexually transmitted diseases. There has been an especially pronounced increase in the number of cases of syphilis, with the number of cases in 2018 being a whopping four times that reported in 2017.
As for HIV, the number of cases reported in 2018 by the same agency was less than 5. Nonetheless, this is still cause for alarm given that Missoula, MT is such a small community and it’s growing.
There’s been a sharp increase in the cases of syphilis in Missoula, MT.
Missoula, MT is perhaps unique in that you may be able to find free STD testing, but only for specific diseases (chlamydia and gonorrhea usually) and only if you qualify based on your income or insurance status.
This is the case with Carenet of Missoula, a public health clinic located on Fairview Ave on the second floor of the City Life Center Building. Tests for other HIV, herpes, and other STDs are usually low cost, as are the full-spectrum STD and HIV tests for both males and females.
As for when you’ll get your test results, you’re likely going to have to wait until the next Monday if you opt for these free or low-cost options.
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.
