Health experts are raising concerns over increased numbers of sexually transmitted diseases in Rhode Island. The high incidence rates are attributed to a combination of factors such as irresponsible sexual behavior, reduced condom use, early indulgence in sexual activities and online hookups with sexual partners. STD rates have more than tripled in the last 10 years.
Newport contribute to a great number of STD infections getting Rhode Island in the wrong listing. In 2016, 4,936 cases of chlamydia were reported a 55% increase from 2007, 716 cases of gonorrhea over 407 in 2007 and 153 cases up from 46 cases.
Great increases were recorded in 2016 to 2017 where 33% and 23% rise in syphilis and gonorrhea were documented with chlamydia up by 8%. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention considers the figures dramatic and the highest in 10 years.
Rhode Island States Department of Health has sent out word to healthcare providers to pay more attention in reaching out to young people, gays, bisexuals, pregnant women and people with new or multiple sex partners with a directive to have them regularly screened.
Looking for STD testing services, public healthcare clinics such as the WellOne North Kingstown Clinic based along Callahan road and the Thundermist Health Center of the South County on 1 River street Wakefield are clinics to consider. Their services are confidential and federally approved.
On the other hand, one can look out for local clinics that nay provide free STD screening to the general public. But centers might not have bookable appointment and you may be charged to consult doctors on site. Additionally, your test results may be not immediate and for after prescription might not be available if you test positive.
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.
