St. Helens is the county seat of Columbia County. The county depicted a constant trend in HIV infection rates between 2018 and 2019. Both years recorded an incidence rate of 54 per 100,000 population. On the contrary, the county health department reported an incidence rate of 51 in 2020.
The county’s department recorded a reduction in the number of new Chlamydia infections. Public health officials reported 160 cases at a rate of 308.3 in 2018 from 186 infections in 2017 that occurred at an incidence rate of 362.3.
On the other hand, Gonorrhea diagnosis rates decreased from 72.1 in 2017 recorded amongst 37 new cases to 55.9, happening among the 29 new infections reported in 2018.
Columbia County’s public health surveillance team registered an increase in the number of new Early Syphilis infections. Only two cases were reported in 2017 while 2018 had double the number of new infections.
Even though the health department administrators have managed to maintain relatively low HIV infection rates, the county’s public health officials have been focusing on improving access to condoms and prevention education, targeting high-risk groups. The county’s public health care providers also partner with and support private and non-governmental institutions in providing HIV/STD services.
You may access free STD testing in some of the clinics in St. Helens, but prescriptions for after test care may not be available if you’ve tested positive. Additionally, bookable appointments may not be an option.
If you need HIV/STD screening and treatment options, you may visit the Planned Parenthood - NE Portland Health Center. Other facilities offering comprehensive sexual health care include Legacy Urgent Care-St. Helens and Columbia Health Services.
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.
