Nicknamed the Heart of Treasure Valley, Nampa, Idaho was born a railroad town where even the streets ran against the grain and with the tracks. Today the largest city of Canyon County, Idaho is best known for being home to the small, private christian college Northwest Nazarene University. Located a scant 20 minutes west of Boise, there is little a resident of Nampa ever has to do without. This also means they are not without their own influx of sexually transmitted diseases.
Gonorrhea rates in the Treasure and Magic Valleys have gone up over 200% between 2017 and 2018 according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and the Central District Health Department.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus—or HIV—increased by approximately 30%, and syphilis doubled, but it’s not all bad news for Nampa. Idaho is one of the few states where chlamydia transmission is receding. 466 cases per 100,000 residents in 2018, down from 485 in 2017. Doctors say early and frequent screenings, as well as clear and honest communication between sexual partners are key in maintaining that trend.
Better still, with four clinics downtown and two more located in Boise—near the Boise Airport and the Boise Zoo—there’s an affordable option near you. Check out Terry Reilly Health Services on 16th street for STI screening. Many locations even offer free services during STD awareness month (April) and you can receive results in as little as 1-2 days. Northwest Nazarene University has its own walk-in clinic, at the Wellness Center on Dewey avenue, available to students. Call ahead to see what STIs they can screen for on location.

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.

The state does not require its public schools to provide sex education, even though teen pregnancy and STD rates are rising. However, Nampa public schools do provide some information to their students, and most health officials agree that some is better than none.
Most of the public schools that do have sex education programs use material that is abstinence based. This dramatically limits the information students receive, and this can put their sexual health at risk. Some public schools do include information on the importance of always using protection during sexual activity, and in the districts where this is done there is a noticeable decrease in teen pregnancy and STD rates.
Overall, the state’s sex education program in the districts where it exists is woefully inadequate at providing teens with the information they need to make smart decisions when it comes to intercourse. Since studies show that over 60 percent of high school seniors have had sex at least once, knowing how to protect themselves is important if the city wants to lower its STD rates.
This means that everyone needs to understand how important regular HIV testing in Nampa is, and the simple procedure is the only way to positively identify the presence of the disease. Regular Herpes testing in Nampa is just as important, especially if residents want to stop the spread of the contagious virus.
The lack of comprehensive sex education programs in the public school districts is one of the main reasons the number of sexually transmitted diseases keeps rising in the city. Even though a few public schools do provide students with the information they need to protect their sexual health, until this is true across the city teens will continue to be at risk. While the Boise State University is trying to “pick up some of the slack” it is still not enough for this growing metro city.
Residents are also finding it difficult to locate a STI clinic near them. The suburb relies heavily on community health centers in the capitol city, and this means that most residents find themselves having to drive farther than they want. The few clinics that are in the metro area typically have long lines and crowded waiting rooms and most residents don’t want to spend the entire day at the health care facility.
Changes to Medicaid are also affecting the STD rates, especially regarding lower income residents. Now that federally sponsored insurance now longer covers STD testing some residents are finding it difficult to afford the fees. Until these and other issues are resolved the city will continue to have a high STD rate.
Before you decide to spend the day out on the lake it is important to take a few minutes to think about your sexual health. The number of STDs reported annual are rising, and this means that it is important for everyone to get tested. It is understandable if you don’t want to spend the entire day waiting in line at a crowded STD clinic, and now there is a faster and easier way for you to take care of your sexual health. Simply by making one quick phone call you can schedule confidential STD testing, and this way you only have to spend a few minutes at a neighborhood lab.
