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.

Oakland County, and consequently the city of Southfield, reported a rate 283.4 newly diagnosed cases of Chlamydia. This is only 137.9 cases over the Top U.S. Performers rating of 145.5; but is still considered alarming. When looking at the range within the entire state, Oakland’s forecast is better than most. The state’s new diagnoses rate ranges from 42 – 804.3, with an average rate of 447.2. Oakland’s 283.4 falls well below average.
Data shows that Oakland’s STD diagnosis rate rose only slightly from 2007 – 2011, where it proceeded to decrease. This is promising, especially when compared relative to the U.S., whose STD rates rose to their highest levels yet after 2013.
On a more intricate level, Oakland County continues to fare well in the 2015 statistics on reported cases of Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chlamydia in comparison with other counties in the state. The county’s rates of growth per 100,000 people are sitting at 58.8 for Gonorrhea, 5.4 for Syphilis, and 316.4 for Chlamydia. These rates are well below the county average of 107 for Gonorrhea and 480.7 for Chlamydia. Interestingly, Oakland County is above average with its Syphilis growth rate, sitting 1.4 above the Southeast Michigan county average rate of 4.
In regards to HIV diagnoses rates, data was collected from 2010 – 2014 in Southeast Michigan, an area that includes Oakland and only five surrounding counties. Statistics show that in the five years data was collected, the rate of diagnoses remained stable at 532 new cases diagnosed on average each year and a rate of 12.5 cases per 100,000 people. It was further explained that no increases were shown across any demographic.This would be the fourth consecutive report in which rates remained consistently stable in regards to HIV diagnoses.

Population Demographics for 2016-2017 for Southfield, MI show that overall, African Americans make up 70% of the total population, with men and women being almost equally split. Understandably then, with such a large percentage of the population being of the same race, the annual review of HIV trends in Southeast Michigan for 2010 – 2014 show that rates are much higher within the area for citizens of African American descent. In regards to gender, the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses occurred in men. Overall, the demographic sector with the largest rate of HIV contraction are African American males ages 20 – 24.
Breaking it down more specifically into statistics concerning STDs such as Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chlamydia, there are still more recorded cases among the majority African American population, but interestingly by gender both white and black males outpace females in diagnoses of Gonorrhea, while within both races females have far higher rates of Chlamydia. Another interesting and very concerning demographic trend you should be aware of is the age range for contraction of these diseases. The majority of new diagnoses occur in individuals ages 15 – 29 years old; with number of cases in these age ranges being in the thousands while bordered starkly by numbers in the low hundreds in every other age category. Despite the majority being focused on these ages, a concerning fact remains that in 2015 there were 80 reported cases of Gonorrhea and 392 reported cases of Chlamydia in children ages 10 – 14.
Pulling this information together, along with the Chlamydia rates resting at higher than the national average as discussed earlier, it seems apparent that focus be put on sex education, particularly information regarding the dangers of STDs and how to prevent them, at an earlier age. The 10 – 14 age range is a critical time in a child’s life as they are going through middle school and many personal changes. This group of young men and women need information the most as they get used to becoming a young adult.
There are two main public STD testing clinics in the Oakland county area. One is the North Oakland Health Center, and the other is the South Oakland location.
