Reports of STD infections have been rampant in Spring Valley, NV, contributing to an overall spike in the rates of STD transmissions in Clark County. In 2016, the county recorded an increase in new cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, including P&S syphilis.
It’s an alarming state because the Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) in Nevada revealed that Clark County accounted for 80% of all STD infections in the state. The 2016 survey also indicated high prevalence rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia among individuals in their late teenage all through to 24-year-old youths.
Moreover, DPBH reported that primary and secondary syphilis infections had significantly hit individuals between the 25-29 years old.
The high rates of STD transmissions have compelled the county health department to open up testing and counseling facilities. Many clinics in Spring Valley, NV provide either free STD testing or medical services at a low cost. The disadvantage with these services is the inconsistency in availability. A few clients may see a doctor on a drop-in basis, as long as they are available.
Other public facilities include the Clark County Combined Health and the Southern Nevada Health Districts. The community-based centers have healthcare professionals who may offer high-risk counseling, reporting of sexual assault cases, free condoms, syphilis injections, and referrals.
Most of the health facilities require clients to schedule for an appointment. Consultations with doctors are strictly private and confidential. Counseling is done before the testing procedure so that you can make an informed consent.
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.
SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.
Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

One of the greatest problems that health officials are facing is reaching people who are at the greatest risk with educational information. Many are suspected to carry STD infections without being aware of it. This greatly increases the chances of the epidemic reaching higher levels quickly. Campaigns are already underway to reach all segments of the population about the risks and consequences of unprotected sex. Public schools are mandated to include sexual health education classes for students just prior to the time when some of them may begin sexual experimentation. Students who complete these courses will know where they can go for a herpes test or for HIV testing in the city. In addition, they learn about common symptoms which are associated with some types of sexually transmitted diseases, and that there may not be any symptoms initially. This effort is intended to reach youth before they make the decision to engage in unprotected sex because the data shows that numbers of STD infection in this age group is going up each year.
This region has a high rate of poverty which has an impact upon STD testing rates and overall sexual health. People who live in poverty may not have the opportunities for access to educational materials that others do. They may not fully understand their risk for contracting an STD, nor be aware of common symptoms. In addition, a lack of finances can make it difficult or impossible to secure quality healthcare services for STD testing and treatment. This compounds the problem of rising STD rates.
There are free STD testing centers available in the area, and they do offer reduced or free rates for those who qualify according to income levels. There are two drawbacks associated with gaining access to free clinics. The first is that not all people who need the services are aware that they exist. The second is that these clinics operate on a set amount of funding which is allocated per cycle. When the funds are depleted, those who are in need of free or reduced cost testing will need to wait until the start of a new funding cycle.
The incidences of Chlamydia infection are nearly double for women than for men. Those in the 20 to 24 year age bracket have the highest rates followed by the 15 to 19 age group. From an ethnic perspective, Blacks have the highest rates, followed by Hispanics, Whites and Native American/Native Alaskans. Gonorrhea rates are higher in males age 20-24 followed by those 15-19, then those 25-29. Blacks have the highest rates followed by Hispanics, then whites. Syphilis rates (all stages included) are highest in men with male to male sex being a high risk factor that often includes dual diagnoses of Chlamydia or Gonorrhea.
These are examples of how the information that is collected from STD testing providers help in determining the level of risk for certain STDs and which populations have the highest reported frequencies of infection. Much is being done to reach people with needed information and the hope is that more people will get tested.
You may wonder if you are in an at risk group. If you have had unprotected sex with one or multiple partners and you cannot verify their monogamy, you may be at significant risk. Instead of wondering if you have been infected with an STD, the best thing that you an do is to get tested. Testing is easy to order and it will only take a few moments of your time to visit a local lab. Confidential STD testing services are available for ou to protect your privacy. After testing has been ordered, friendly lab technicians will assist you in completing the process so you can get your results quickly. They can answer any questions that you may have and get you on your way to enjoy the rest of your day. You owe it to yourself to protect your sexual health.
