There has been a worrying trend in the rising HIV incidences in South Burlington, VT, a Chittenden County city. The infections gained from 146 in 2014 to 214 in 2019. The increase in the cases can be attributed to the many people engaging in unprotected sex.
County health reports indicate that many residents were diagnosed with Chlamydia compared to other STIs. By the end of 2017, the infection had affected approximately 359.4 per 100,000 persons in the city.
Gonnorhea followed closely with a total rate of 34.1 in 2017. The cases were noted to be significantly higher in minority populations, such as African Americans and Latinos.
Syphilis had the lowest incident rate in the city. Only 4.3 per 100,000 individuals were identified with this infection. The cases were noted to be higher in the male population compared to the female population.
Public health officials in Chittenden County are working to tackle the HIV/STD infections in the county by providing technical assistance and capacity building to local communities. They also connect local groups to national training opportunities to ensure they can address HIV/STD issues.
Although there has been an increase in the number of medical centers in South Burlington, VT, offering low-cost to free STD testing, residents may be required to be on income and welfare eligibility to access the free test. The facilities may also be limited in location.
Planned Parenthood - Williston Health Center and UVM Medical Center Urgent Care are some of the clinics within the city where you can access sexual health services. Other facilities near South Burlington include The University of Vermont Medical Center.
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.
