Public health officials in Seekonk, MA, a town in Bristol County, registered lower HIV diagnoses three years in a row. There were 44 new infections in 2014, 39 in 2015, and 35 in 2016, with most cases being diagnosed in males who accounted for 80, 77, and 71 percent of the total number of infections.
Besides that, an undulating pattern followed the number of new Syphilis infections reported between 2014 and 2016, where 22 persons were positively diagnosed in the first year of reference at a rate of four in every group of 100,000 individuals.
In 2017, the number of Syphilis infections rose to 35 cases occurring at a rate of 6.3, which later dwindled to just 25 cases in 2016, which prevailed at a rate of 4.5.
However, concerns were raised over the steadily increasing number of new Chlamydia infections in the town. Seekonk had 18 newly diagnosed patients in 2016, 33 in 2017, and 39 cases in 2018.
Even though Gonorrhea diagnoses were significantly low, a wavy pattern was observed when comparing surveillance data collected between 2016 and 2018. The town had less than five new infections in 2016, six in the following year, and less than five positive diagnoses in 2018.
Public health stakeholders in the town and Bristol County at large have managed to control the rate of HIV/STD infections by developing a consolidated funding strategy that finances a continuum of prevention and care services for high-risk individuals and the newly infected, respectively.
HIV/STD services are available at the Board of Health, Planned Parenthood - Providence Health Center, East Providence Medical Center, and The Miriam Hospital HIV/STD Clinic.
Some clinics may provide free STD testing, but the service may be dependent on whether you qualify under certain welfare and income eligibility guidelines. Additionally, some clinics may not guarantee anonymity.
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.
