Based on the recent Crawford County Health report data, it is clear that HIV infections have been eradicated in the Pittsburg city. In 2018, there were no reported HIV infections in the county, and also Syphilis infections were non-existent from 2000 to 2009.
The total rate of Chlamydia infections reported by the end of 2018 was 566.2 per 100,000 persons, indicating a rise of the infections from the earlier rate of 280.4 reported in 2010.
A deeper analysis of the county health data revealed that the overall rate of Gonorrhea infections escalated from 51.5 per 100,000 persons in 2010 to 235.7 per 100,000 persons in 2018.
Crawford County Department of Health has implemented various programs to lower the rate of HIV/STD infections in the county. Some of these programs include establishing more teen health centers, women health clinics, and funding initiatives that target high-risk groups such as men who sex with men, transgenders as well as commercial sex workers.
Several clinics in the city provide free STD testing during community outreach events, but the tests may only be available to the high-risk population like men who have sex with men, and there may be no confidentiality due to the public nature of the events.
Some of the medical centers in the city you may consider for HIV/STD testing, treatment, or screening include Christi Hospital in Pittsburg and Crawford County Health Department. If you are interested in clinics that provide reproductive health care on a walk-in basis, then you may opt for SEK Urgent Care or Planned Parenthood - Joplin Health Center.
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.
