The Christian County Health Department has been concerned about the rise of HIV cases in Nixa city. According to the county health data, the infections increased from 33 at a rate of 53 in 2013 to 58 at a rate of 86 in 2018.
What’s more alarming, however, is the county health data which points to the widespread of Chlamydia cases in the county. The infections surged from 138 in 2010 to 271 cases by the end of 2018.
The county department of health was successful in managing Syphilis infections, and only 3 cases were reported in 2010, although they had doubled to 6 by 2018.
Additional county health data also indicated an escalation of Gonorrhea infections from 22 reported cases in 2010 to 106 by 2018.
Public health outreach efforts to battle HIV/STDs infections are a critical part of the current efforts by the Christian County Department of Health. The department of health has partnered with health care providers to offer low cost to free STD/HIV testing to the city residents.
You may find free STD testing in some of the medical centers in the city, but a doctor's consultation may only be available at a fee, and the clinics may only test for STDs, so everyone will know why you are there.
Planned Parenthood - Springfield Health Center is located within the city and is among the health centers that provide sexual health care. Other hospitals that may provide STD/HIV services include Mercy Hospital Springfield, Cox Medical Center, and Family Medical Walk-In Clinic.
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.
