Between 2013 and 2019, the number of new HIV infections in Hampden County decreased significantly. Data from the Hampden County Health Department indicated a decline from 69 in 2013 to 29 in 2019.
Chlamydia is an asymptomatic STI; therefore, good screening programs are needed to diagnose and treat infections. There were 600.0 new cases of Chlamydia per 100,000 residents of Hampden County in 2013 and 620.2 cases per 100,000 residents in 2018.
Gonorrhea cases jumped from 43.2 in 2014 to 220.0 per 100,000 persons in 2018, according to a report on surveillance data.
In 2013, the prevalence rate of early Syphilis infection was roughly 10.0, and at the end of 2018, it was approximately 30.0. The infections were common among MSMs.
To resolve the HIV/STD crisis, the Hampden Department of Health has implemented various interventions, including PrEP, condom distribution, and HIV counseling and testing targeting the vulnerable community across the county. Its health staff also encourages sexually active persons to get regular STD testing to prevent the spreading of infections.
If you are a resident in Southwick, MA, and you are concerned about your sexual health, you should visit some nearby clinics, including Southwick Health Department. You can also drop in at MedExpress Urgent Care or Western Massachusetts Hospital.
Most clinics don't offer free STD testing, but if you find one, you'll have to pay for medications if found positive. Also, not every STD will be tested for free, which is another concern.
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.

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.
