In 2017, there were 7,549 HIV/AIDS cases among people between the age of twenty-five to thirty-four in Essex County, New Jersey. However, the (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 12.3 for every 100,000 people. Also, in 2016, the county’s gonorrhea rate was 220.6 for every 100,000 people.
Between 2012 and 2016, there was a 4.9 percent increase in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early and late syphilis cases in Essex County.
Essex County residents have many options when it comes to STD testing. North Hudson Community Action Corporation (NHCAC Health Center at Passaic) on Passaic Street and Barnabas Health Medical Group (United Medical Lyndhurst) on Rutherford Avenue are STD testing locations.
The Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey (Montclair Center) on Fullerton Avenue is also a testing location in the county. County residents can also seek STD testing at Newark Community Health Centers Incorporated (Corporate Office) on Broadway and Kearny Department of Health on Kearney Avenue.
Other testing locations include Newark Community Health Centers Incorporated (East Orange Primary Care) on William Street and the Newark Community Health Centers Incorporated (Orange Health Center) on North Day Street.
Free STD testing may be provided at several locations in the county for people who meet eligibility requirements. Nevertheless, there may be limited tests offered and many may not be comprehensive.
Also, many locations may have limited hours and walk-in services may not be offered. Plus, some places may not allow people to schedule appointments in advance. It should also be noted that some locations may not provide medical consultation or access to medical prescriptions.
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.
