The state of Virginia has seen a rise in sexually transmitted diseases and the city of Tuckahoe is no different. Henrico County has seen over a 6.5% increase in chlamydia cases since 2013, with 1,798 cases in 2017 alone. Gonorrhea has also been on the rise with 691 cases reported in 2017.
Some clinics may offer free condoms to help fight the spread of STDs in Tuckahoe. Free STD testing may also be available at times. However, these services may not always be available due to things like changes in funding.
Since 8.46% of the population of Tuckahoe is uninsured and nearly 10% is living in poverty, services like free or income-based testing are important for the community to make sure individuals are able to get the std testing they need. When these services are unavailable, low-income and uninsured individuals may have to wait to get tested until financial assistance becomes available.
Local health officials remind residents of the importance of std testing, saying that the number of std cases in the area is higher than have been seen in a decade.
Unfortunately, the nearest clinics are located about 20 minutes away in Richmond, VA. There are a wide number of private and public clinics available including Planned Parenthood and the city and county health departments. Several urgent care and walk-in clinics are also located in Richmond and do not require an appointment to be seen. Not all services or std tests may be available at every clinic.
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.
