In King County, where Sammamish is, HIV rates are on the downswing. For example, in 2017, the most recent year for which HIV data is available, health officials reported 161 new HIV diagnoses.
Not since 1994 have rates been that low. However, figures for the first quarter of 2018 show that rates for STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis have increased.
Health officials in King County credit prevention interventions such as needle exchange programs for the drop in HIV rates. They also cite an efficient area medical system, federal funding, expanded Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
King County was one of the first major metro areas in the United States to reach a World Health Organization milestone known as 90-90-90. It stands for 90 percent of HIV-infected residents being aware of their status, 90 percent on antiretroviral treatment and 90 percent virally suppressed. In Washington state, HIV infection rates have remained stable.
Despite the relatively low HIV rates, health officials in King County urge against complacency. They encourage sexually active people to get regular HIV testing.
Some clinics in King County, most in Seattle, serve particular populations such as Latino men who have sex with men, Latinos, people of color or gay men. Spanish speakers are available at most clinics. Many of the facilities use a sliding scale based on income to charge fees. In some cases, that means free STD testing, and at least one clinic offers free testing. However, free testing can mean traveling to Seattle from Sammamish. It can also mean inconvenient times, long wait times and results that are not immediate.
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.
