Connecticut ranks among the states in the US with the lowest STD rates. Even so, urban centers like Hartford County continue to report significant numbers of STD incidences.
According to STD statistics by the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Rocky Hill town reported 27 chlamydia cases in 2015 with a rate of 131.0 cases per 100,000 populations. That reflected a 3.8% increase in occurrences, considering there were 26 chlamydia incidences in 2016.
On the other hand, there were two incidences of gonorrhea in the town with a rate of 10.0. In 2011-2015, both cases and rates of syphilis remained the same – one (1) cases at a 5.0 rate.
Most STD/HIV transmissions occur among MSM members. That's why the CDC came up with the "Start Talking. Stop HIV" program which focuses on promoting testing and prevention services among gay and bisexual men. It implores them to open up freely about their HIV status to their partners, and the need to use condoms.
By getting tested, you contribute to the fight against HIV/STDs. In Hartford County, you may get tested at the Hartford Health Department of Disease Prevention located along Coventry St. You can alternatively head to the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective on Broad St.
Moreover, you can go to the Planned Parenthood Health Clinic, which lies on New Britain Ave, West Hartford.
Rocky Hill community members can opt to go to some nearby clinics which may provide low-cost or free STD testing, although you may not have the choice of scheduling an appointment and the facilities may open and operated at inconsistent hours. Further, physicians might not be present to consult.
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.
