Communities in DeSoto County, including Olive Branch, Mississippi, are not immune to the growing STD crisis. In fact, state health reports show that rates for STDs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are on the rise in Olive Branch.
While STD rates in the county have risen steadily since 2014, state records show a significant increase in STD rates from 2016 to 2018. Chlamydia rates jumped by 16 percent, whereas gonorrhea rates spiked by more than 40 percent.
It was newly reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis rates, however, that showed the most startling increase, as the number of newly reported cases rose from 10 cases in 2016 to 26 cases in 2018.
Mississippi Surveillance Reports showed a surprising surge in newly diagnosed HIV cases. While there was a slight decline in newly reported cases from 2016 to 2017, this decrease was diminished by a nearly 100% increase in new HIV cases from 2017 to 2018.
There are several possible STD testing locations in Olive Branch and nearby Hernando, including MedPost Urgent Care and DeSoto County Health Department. Many of the local doctors and health care facilities may also provide STD and HIV testing. The majority of these practices are near Goodman Road or just off Route 78.
Residents can also opt to drive to nearby Southaven for access to additional clinics that might provide HIV and STD testing solutions, including the Southaven Health Department, GetWell Urgent Care, and Prime Urgent Medical Clinic.
One thing to keep in mind is that although some clinics announce free STD testing options, not all individuals qualify for free testing. In addition, some clinics do not offer appointments, which could result in long wait times.
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.

The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
