Compared to other STDs, Syphilis cases were low but have increased over the years as well. In 2015 alone, there were 15 cases at a rate of 4 percent per 100,000 persons reported.
In that same year, Chlamydia infections in St Charles County were the highest compared to other STDs. A startling 1,136 cases at a rate of 295 per 100,000 persons were reported.
Gonorrhea came second to Chlamydia in the following year with high infection rates totaling to 266 cases of Gonorrhea at a rate of 69 percent per 100,000.
To reduce the number of STD/HIV infections, St Charles County Department of Health has developed a systematic monitoring model of HIV/STD infections in the community. The Department of Health is also involved in an intensive outreach program for individuals not engaged in medical care within 6 months of a new HIV diagnosis.
There are a number of health care facilities in St Charles that offer STD/HIV treatment where you can check your sexual health status.
Progress West Hospital, SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital, and BJC health care are some of the facilities that you can walk-in or book an appointment to access STD/HIV services.
Free HIV/STD screening and testing may be offered in some of the health centers but results might not be immediate and you might have to wait for 1 or 2 weeks.
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.
