Salisbury is a city in Rowan County, North Carolina. According to the latest numbers, there were 927 cases of chlamydia, 255 cases of gonorrhea, 18 cases of syphilis, and 16 reports of HIV in 2017.
“We’ve had increases in almost everything this year and over the past few years, and I think we’re experiencing the same thing as they’re seeing nationally: limited dollars on the front lines of the transmission of STDs are hampering our ability to respond,” said Erika Samoff, an epidemiologist from the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Salisbury public health is managed by Rowan County which supports efforts to prevent STDs through condom/female condom/dental dam distribution, HIV testing and counseling, HIV/AIDS Prevention and Education, and STD Prevention and Education.
There are a few options to consider when looking for a STD testing clinic. In Salisbury, the Rowan County Health Department has a clinic on East Innes St, a First Care Medical Clinic on West Innes St, a Community Care Clinic of Rowan on Mocksville Ave, and a FastMed Urgent Care clinic on Klumac Rd.
Other options include another urgent care clinic on Jake Alexander Blvd in Salisbury and Cabarrus Family Medicine clinic on Salisbury Avenue in Spencer.
While some clinics may offer free STD testing, others may only offer some tests for free. Clinics may also vary in hours, may have long wait times, and services may be dependent on income and welfare eligibility.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
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.
