While there are only three states that are smaller than New Jersey, it is still the home of approximately 8,958,013 people. There are only 10 states that are more densely populated. As of 2014 it was number three on the list of wealthiest states. Few other states are more religiously and ethnically diverse than NJ is.
There are large colleges and universities in New Jersey such as Rutgers and Princeton. Many of the college students spend their summers at the Jersey shore, with Atlantic City being the most popular beach side destination. In this city and in others throughout the state, private STD testing is offered. There are countless STD clinics in the state that are all prepared to assist.
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.

As of 2013, New Jersey was sixth on the list of states with number of HIV diagnoses for the year. At that time, 2,169 state residents, both adolescents and adults, were HIV positive. Of the 50 states, it is 36 on the list of most cases of primary and secondary syphilis. It was number 45 on the list of most cases of chlamydia and number 31 on the list of most cases of gonorrhea. In total, over 36,000 people in the state had been diagnosed with either HIV or AIDS that year. There are many HIV clinics throughout the state and the biggest one treated 1,200 people that had been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS.
In 2014, 29,950 of the residents had chlamydia while 6,536 had gonorrhea and 1,172 had syphilis. However, there had not been a case of a baby being born with syphilis since 2012. The state’s Planned Parenthood center, through data analysis, determined that from 2009 to 2014 STD rose by 27%.
Parts of the state have seen a rise in the number of people diagnosed with STDs following a statewide budget cut that hurt low-income residents at risk of contracting an STD through unsafe sex. Many health planning clinics were closed following this budget cut, leaving residents with fewer resources to teach them how to avoid contracting an STD. It also cut down on the amount of STD testing that health planning clinics had been offering needy community members.
Preventing STDs is an important goal for the state. As a result, high school students throughout the state benefit from the state’s Teen Prevention Education Program, also referred to as Teen PEP, provides students with opportunities to learn about STD prevention from their peers. The program is run with the participation of the Princeton Center for Leadership Training and the New Jersey Department of Health as well as the Health Interested Teen’s Own Program on Sexuality.
Sex ed courses are taught in high schools throughout the state courtesy of Teen PEP. Parents have a choice of whether or not they want to enroll their child in the class, which is not a required part of the curriculum. Only junior and senior year students are permitted to take this class.
Students that have completed the Teen PEP classes are given the tools and materials they need to participate in subsequent sessions of the class, helping them pass their new found knowledge along to their peers. They are permitted to teach workshops that focus on STIs, STDs and HIV/AIDS education. These workshops can be attended by freshman and sophomore students as well as their parents.
Many urgent care clinics throughout the state are equipped to test people for both herpes and HIV. Those in need of a test do not need to make an appointment in advance. Most of the clinics in the state will test for genital herpes, HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis.
While only 14% of New Jersey’s population is African American, 53% of them are suffering from AIDS or HIV. Over the course of one year 96,000 residents were tested for HIV and 640 of them received confirmation that they had been infected with the disease. Of those 640 people, 65% of the HIV positive cases were African Americans. As a result, the HIV Prevention Fund of New Jersey spent 63% of their funding to educate and inform African Americans affected by the disease.
Certain cities in the state are more affected by STDs than others. For example, in Atlantic County, despite the small number of residents, 1,589 of them had been diagnosed with AIDS or HIV by 2009. The number of people throughout the state suffering from HIV or AIDS was the same as the population of Atlantic City.
Over the years cities in New Jersey have seen a decline in the number of people diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. While in 1990, 171 cases of HIV or AIDS were reported by 2007 the number had dropped to 49.
South Jersey AIDS Alliance CEO Keith Egan has stated that the reason these diagnoses have gone down is because the public was becoming better educated about STDs and scientific advancements have made STDs, especially HIV and AIDS, easier to fight.
There are now a large number of clinics and testing centers opened throughout the state to ensure that all residents can be tested safely and confidentially.
The dense population of New Jersey has made it a hotbed for STDs. The state has many clinics and other testing facilities available to those who need them. Testing is often free and individuals can be sure that they will be tested promptly and will have the results as soon as it is possible to obtain them.
Walk in clinics are scattered throughout the state and most of them offer testing for the most common STDs, including AIDS and HIV. Efforts by the state government as well as health care professionals are helping to contain the problem of residents spreading STDs to each other. The state has many medical and health professionals that are qualified to provide confidential testing, support and other resources.
