The HIV/AIDs pandemic has been a persistent problem in New Haven County. In 2018, the county recorded 3172 new HIV cases at a rate of 482 per 100,000 which had escalated from 3104 cases at a rate of 422 per 100,000 persons in 2017
The Health Department in New Haven County has been doing its best to prevent and control STDs. However, newly reported cases of STDs still continue to rise. For example, in 2014, Chlamydia reported the highest number of new infections at 3859 which was represented at a rate of 422 per 100,000 populations.
On the contrary, in that same year, Syphilis recorded the lowest number of new infections in New Haven County with 35 new infections at a rate of 4 per 100,000.
Due to the persistent problem of STD and HIV infections in the county, the New Haven County Department of Health introduced Preventative Medicine Clinics that aimed to prevent and control the spread of the disease in the city through provision of vaccinations, especially for Hepatitis and HPV infections. Additionally, it has an STD Control Program which works towards reducing infections through the case and outbreak investigations, disease surveillance, and screening.
New Haven Center Planned Parenthood and DOCS Urgent Care which is located at Foxon Rd, East Haven are some of the clinics you may walk in and request for STD screening and treatment services. Additionally, the New Haven County Health Department offers STD services too. Although some of the clinics may offer free STD testing services, people may still know you had visited the facility for the services. Also, multiple payment options may not be provided.
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.
