North Atlanta, GA, is experiencing a devastating STD outbreak. A 2015 CDC STD Surveillance Report found the Sandy Springs-Roswell region in the northern area of the city has many of the highest STD rates in the entire country for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
The region reported 16,429 new cases of chlamydia in 2013, and by 2017 it more than doubled to 34,189 new diagnoses. Also in 2013, the area had 5,432 new gonorrhea infections, five years later that number jumped to a record 12,373 in 2017. Syphilis is another problem with 2,257 new diagnoses in 2015 rising to 3,281 in 2017.
In late 2018, Dr. Carlos Del Rio, the co-director of Emory University’s Center for AIDS Research told Atlanta’s WSB-TV 2, “Downtown Atlanta is as bad as Zimbabwe or Harare or Durban.” Referring to the city’s HIV epidemic.
There are dozens of locations in North Georgia to seek STD testing and treatment. The nearby DeKalb Health center, a service of the Dekalb County Board of Health is located at the corner of Dresden Dr and Clairmont Rd NE. The facility is easy to access by the number 19 bus.
Another option is the Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Incorporated on Shallowford Road NE and Mercy Care Chamblee Clinic on Peachtree Rd in Chamblee. Both sites are accessible by public transportation.
While free STI screenings may be available at some of these locations, keep in mind that they may not offer walk-in or extended hours and results might take longer than clinics without free services.
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.
