There has been an upward surge in the rates of HIV prevalence among residents of Prince George's County, including Seabrook, a census-designated place in the county. The rate of HIV infections reported by the end of both 2018 and 2019 was 7174 per 100,000 individuals, indicating a rise of 20.3% compared to the earlier rate of 5965 reported in 2015.
From 2015 to 2018, Chlamydia infections in the county have gradually increased from a rate of 677.7 to 877.9 per 100,000 persons, respectively. The majority of infections manifested in females aged 15 to 24 years.
The rate of Syphilis infections increased by 88.8% from 2015 to 2018.
Gonorrhea infections have also had a significant increment from 2015 to 2018, with recorded rates of 141.1 and 221.3 per 100,000 persons, respectively.
Prince George's County Health Department is committed to halting the alarming spread of STDs, and the progression of HIV through its Keep It Sexually Safe (KISS) program. It aims to get youths and all sexually active residents tested, treated, and trained on effective preventive measures to initiate change in sexual habits among community members.
You can access STD/HIV testing services at Planned Parenthood - Carol Whitehill Moses Center, Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic - Maryland Primary Care, and UM Bowie Health Center.
Also, you can visit local clinics in the census-designated area to access free STD testing services. Still, some tests are free, not comprehensive, and results might not be available immediately.
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.
