What are the STI test options in Springfield,MO?

In Springfieldย cases of STDs continue to increase. Reported cases of HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, primary and secondary syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea have all increased. The year 2016 saw 15,028 cases of chlamydia, 5,392 cases of gonorrhea, and 208 cases of syphilis reported across the state.

Chlamydia rates, which were reported in 2018 as 477.4 per 100,000 residents, compares to the national average. As of 2016, there were 12,606 people living with HIV, with the majority being males, and this was an increase from the 11,584 reported in 2013.

In 2013, Greene County reported 1,272 cases of chlamydia, 322 cases of gonorrhea, and 14 cases of syphilis. By 2017 this had increased to 2,020 cases of chlamydia, 819 cases of gonorrhea, and 59 cases of syphilis.

Springfield testing locations include the Planned Parenthood of Saint Louis Region and Southwest Missouri on East Battlefield Street and the Springfield-Greene County Health Department on East Chestnut. The AIDS Project of the Ozarks can be found on East Bennett and the Christian County Health Department has testing services at 301 East Brick Street.

National HIV and AIDS Testing Day occurs annually on June 27th. Multiple locations hold free STD testing events in honor of this occasion. It is important to note that this service is often only available once a year.ย  Throughout the area you can find locations that distribute condoms and dental dams; offer counseling and free STD testing; assist with partner notification; and provide education and vaccination opportunities.

What STD tests do I need?

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.

When should I get tested?

The CDC2ย 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.ย 

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.

How are STD tests done?

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.

How fast do I get my results?

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.ย 

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.ย 

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.ย 

SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

What same-day testing locations are available in Springfield, MO?

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

How much will STD testing cost in Springfield, MO?

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.ย 

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.ย 

SaferSTD has researched and identified reputable locations that offer upfront pricing without hidden fees. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

Planned Parenthood of the Saint Louis Region and Southwest Missouri (Springfield Health Center)

STD Testing at 626 Battlefield Rd, Springfield, MO 65807, USA

Qualifications

The only walk-in patients that are accepted are those looking for PrEP or the "morning after" pill. Everyone else needs to call in advance. You can also create a patient profile by booking online.

Payment is due for the clinic's services. If you cannot afford to pay in full or do not have insurance, call the center. A receptionist can help see if you qualify for one of their reduced fee or free testing plans. Some of these do require that you be at least 19.

Treatment Options

Are you positive for a sexually transmitted bacterial infection? if so, Planned Parenthood will get you a prescription for antibiotics. You should plan on returning for follow up testing, just to be safe.

Sexually transmitted viruses do not respond to antibiotics. This means that you will have to have your patient folder sent to your physician or a care specialist.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Springfield, MO

Due to the conservative nature of the state the amount of information allowed in sex education classes is severely limited, according to some concerned parents and health officials.

While the law regarding sex education policies in the public schools was revised in 2007, it still focuses on abstinence as the only โ€œ100 percent effective methodโ€ of preventing STDs and teen pregnancies. While this might be able to lower the number of teens who become pregnant during high school, it does not help prevent the spread of STDs.

The amount of information taught in schools is improving, thanks to recent changes in the law, but not enough is being done to protect students and residents. Even though medically accurate information on HIV and STDs is now included in the curriculum, the number of infections is still continuing to rise.

Many city officials and some parents blame this on the limited information concerning sexual orientation, which also makes it difficult for some students to discuss any problems they might have. Teens are also allowed to opt out of these classes, which is another reason STD rates are rising.

Without knowing all of the facts many students and their parents donโ€™t realize the risk. Regular herpes testing in Springfield can help, and even prevent embarrassing breakouts from plaguing students throughout their lives. This also pertains to HIV testing in Springfield.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Springfield, MO

There are several demographical factors that are responsible for the growing number of STDs reported in the area, and the main one is the population boom.

More and more people are moving into the area, and many of these new residents are already infected unknowingly with a STD. With fewer people being tested across the country, it is not uncommon for sexually transmitted diseases to be spread simply by moving to a new neighborhood. Unfortunately this problem is expected to continue until everyone schedules regular health checkups.

Common stereotypes concerning certain STDs are also playing a role in the rising number of infections reported in the area each year. The fear of being singled out due to the type of infection can prevent some residents from being seen at a health clinic, which often leads to the disease being spread throughout the community.

Lower income families often find it difficult to afford getting tested, and a shortage of community clinics is also adding to the problem.

Many African American and Hispanic residents fear being ostracized by family and friends, which has resulted in higher than average rates of infection in these demographical groups. There is also a language barrier in some Hispanic communities, which can make it difficult for health officials to stress the importance of being tested regularly.

Better Sexual Health in Springfield, MO

As the population continues to grow in the area it has become even more important to take a few minutes and consider your sexual health. The simple procedure is relatively painless, and residents now have other options than standing in long lines at the community centers. Instead of ignoring your sexual health due to embarrassment participate in anonymous STI testing. There are clinics close by, which still gives you plenty of time to meet your new neighbors or spend the day exploring the Fantastic Caverns.
