Marion County’s share of 2017 STD cases consisted of: 1,669 cases of chlamydia, 525 cases of gonorrhea, 123 cases of syphilis, 17 cases of AIDS and HIV, 38 cases of chronic hepatitis B, and 471 cases of hepatitis C.
A statement from the National Coalition of STD Directors indicates that the rise in STDs comes at a time when health departments are least prepared to handle it due to cuts in prevention programs and services at the federal, state, and local levels.
Don’t wait for symptoms to seek out testing. Good health begins with preventative measures.
Throughout Salem there are many options that include free STD testing for residents with i.d. , from the Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette on Wolverine Street Northeast to the Oregon Department of Human Services located on Center Street. Oregon Reminders offers a free service to provide customized reminders for testing, medications, and prescription refills.
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 first thing you need to do when you want STD testing is to call for an appointment. They do accept patients as young as 15, but prefer to not have any younger. You should also be advised that testing is not free. There are charges.
InnerVisions Health Care is similar to other sexual health organizations. They perform almost the same services, only here you can expect to be charged for your visit. They do not have reduced rates, even if you do not have health insurance.
2651 Commercial St SE #1, Salem, OR 97302, USA
There are fees for testing and you do need to schedule ahead of your visit. Urine samples are most commonly used for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea testing, while others only need a quick swab of the inside of your mouth.
Rapid HIV testing is also available, and the clinic does not charge extra for it.
Planned Parenthood is on E Post Army Rd. It is pretty easy to get to, unless you don't drive. If this is the case, you might want to look for another clinic closer to a bus route.

Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp have private labs that can handle every detail about your testing in a discreet and professional manner. They are the preferred choice of many, but not the only ones with affordable STI testing.
Oregon Department of Human Services has an office on Central St. They partner with several outfits to better serve everyone that calls Salem home. STI testing is one of their services, and since the cost can be negotiable it is popular. Accredited by the public health department, they are a safe option for many in need.
Often thought to be just a “women’s clinic”, Planned Parenthood strives to help guys, kids and females. This includes caring for their sexual health. Vaccines can be obtained for HPV, along with testing and treatment for most of the STDs. There are some strains that are becoming resistant to traditional drugs, and this could mean long term treatment. In this event they can provide referrals. If you are at their center on Wolverine St., bring your i.d. and proof of household income if you want a discount.
Enrolling as a patient will make it harder to stay anonymous, but you’ll have to if you want to be seen at the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. They are tied in with Lancaster Family Health Center at Beverly so patients at one can use the other. This is helping to reach more people but is also leading to overcrowding in the clinics.
Several miles away, you’ll enjoy the drive, is Oregon’s Department of Human Services. Testing is reserved for only a few STDs, and HIV screenings can cost extra. If you really don’t want to take a chance and accidentally bump into someone you’re familiar with, this is a good option. However, if you’re in need of additional services you might be better off closer to home.
Doesn’t it make sense to get your HIV test alongside your screenings for STDs? You don’t have to limit yourself, however. Sometimes it is the only test you’re concerned about, and this usually means a rapid test for HIV.
Early detection is key when you want to continue to live a satisfying life.
Oregon Health Authority has Ryan White Program services. Their website discusses ways to end the virus and will help you find testing facilities that can provide testing and/or care. Some are free, while others do charge. They can also set you up with a case worker that will explain all the steps. Like everyone else they do follow legal guidelines and report all HIV positive cases to the right health authorities. What they don’t have are tests for early detection. This you can find at most privately managed labs.
Some private facilities also have rapid HIV tests. This means that you won’t have to wait several days or weeks to learn your status. When it really matters that wait can be incredibly stressful.
Just because there are not a ton of clinics advertised doesn’t mean that there aren’t clinics open and ready to help you care for your sexual health.
Oregon received an “A+” when the current sex education program was evaluated. So why are sexually transmitted infections still a problem?
The unplanned pregnancy rate is “acceptable” and contraceptives are easily accessible. Even emergency rooms are handing them out to anyone that asks. The most common answer to encroaching STD rates is that it will take time. Older generations are left out of the new education taught in schools, and some still sexually active.
If you think that you can’t go back to school, you’re wrong. Planned Parenthood is one of several health centers that have educational classes that deal with sexual health. Even those that aren’t comfortable signing up for a program can still go home with literature they can read in privacy.
The state and county centers for health also put on events that center on education. All are open to the public, and most only require a nominal domination. Same goes for any seminar sponsored by the Ryan White Foundation.
Anyone that wants to find the information on their own can search online. Look for government sites or ones run by local health clinics. This way you can be sure that what you are learning is current and not an urban myth. The health section in your neighborhood library can also provide much needed information.
Thinking about touring the Hallie Ford Museum of Art or the Victorian home of Dr. Luke A. Port? Enjoy yourself but notice if you pass a STI clinic. Why not stop by? If it is a private lab, you’ll already have an appointment and soon be back on your way.
This really all it takes to start helping reduce residents chances for contracting a sexual disease. If everyone did this one thing, you would have a city that is not only beautiful but is completely health as well.
