Seymour is a town located on the western side of New Haven County. The county’s health records indicated an inconsistency in the number of new HIV infections recorded in 2016, 2017, and 2018. In 2016 and 2017, the documents showed 85 and 87 cases, respectively, while, on the other hand, 2018 had 84 recorded issues.
According to information from the Connecticut State Department of Health, the City of Seymour had a slight increase in the number and rate of new Gonorrhea infections between 2014 and 2015.
The former year had three cases at a rate of 18 in every 100,000 compared to the five positive diagnoses recorded in 2015 at a prevalence rate of 29 per 100,000 persons.
Also, the number of new Syphilis cases increased from nil in 2014 to one case recorded at the rate of 6 in every 100,000 individuals the following year.
The department’s records further showed a worrying trend in regards to new Chlamydia infections. There was a significant spike between 2014 and 2015, where 18 persons tested positive for the infection at a rate of 109 per 100,000 individuals in 2014, while 32 were positively diagnosed at a rate of 188 per 100,000 in 2015.
In conjunction with the Connecticut State Department of Public Health, local governments have been steadfast in fighting the spread of HIV and STDs. Through state-funded programs, such as MPower, the HIV Prevention PrEP Navigation Demonstration Project, and Healthy Love, they provide STD/HIV prevention education and preventive resources such as condoms to high-risk individuals.
Low-cost or HIV/STD testing options can be accessed from clinics, such as the Planned Parenthood of Southern New England Incorporated New Haven Center, APNH A Place to Nourish Your Health, and Anchor Health Initiative.
If you're seeking free STD testing, you should be cautious as people may know the reason for your visit since some clinics only offer STD/HIV testing services exclusively, and results may be delivered via a phone call.
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.

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.
