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.

420 SW 10th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73109, USA
A positive way for the city to combat its high STD rates is to educate students in the classroom. While there are limited sexual education programs in place in the Oklahoma City schools, its abstinence based curriculum is not enough to warn students and parents about the dangers of STDs.
Recent data shows that teens in the city’s public schools are generally more sexually active than students the same age in other cities. The same data also shows that Oklahoma City students are less likely to use a condom, but girls do seem to use birth control more often than their peers in other states.
While this does help to keep the number of teen pregnancies below national averages, it doesn’t affect the STD rates.
Without comprehensive sexual education programs in place in the classrooms, many residents do not realize that some STDs can be transmitted without engaging in intercourse. Regular Herpes testing in Oklahoma City can help stop this common high school disease, and even prevent embarrassing flare ups from occurring.
Regular HIV testing in Oklahoma City is also vital.
Many of Oklahoma City’s teens are becoming sexually active at a younger age, and one average most have had more than one partner before their high school graduation. Sexually active students often do not realize that they are at risk or that they could be potentially spreading the diseases to their friends and classmates.
The city also has several low income neighborhoods and too few community health centers. The lack of available care often prevents citizens from getting the help that they need, and many low income families simply cannot afford the price of regular STD testing.
There is also a deep mistrust of city leaders and health officials and convincing some residents that regular STD testing is necessary is difficult. Many native Americans in the city prefer to be treated by natural methods, which do not include regular testing by a licensed health care practitioner. The same mistrust is also felt among many African Americans, who can also experience feelings of shame when they realize they may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Before you experience the thrills of White Water Bay or see what it was like to be a cowboy on the plains ask yourself when was the last time you were tested for venereal infections. If you aren’t sure, it is definitely time to call and schedule a lab appointment. Testing for STIs is confidential and quick.
