Cuyahoga County, where University Heights lies, has in the recent years experienced an escalation in the number of newly recorded HIV incidences. In 2014 and 2015, the count of new HIV infections stagnated at 3,672. A significant increase was reported in the following year, with 3,939 new cases recorded.
The new incidences of chlamydia infections increased from 8,979 in 2014 to 9,099 in 2015. By the end of 2016, the new infections reported were at 10,108. Chlamydia recorded the highest infection numbers in comparison to other STDs.
Gonorrhea was second, reporting new 3,181 infections in 2014, 3,033 in 2015, and 3,749 in 2016. The statistics depicted a mixture of an upward and downward spiral.
On the other hand, there was a steady increase in the number of new syphilis cases reported. In 2014, there were 181 cases reported, 200 in 2015, and 329 in 2016.
The county health department operates STD and HIV programs that incorporate services such as counseling, testing, and referrals. It also offers treatment to curb the spread of HIV and STDs and provides free protection facilities such as condoms to sexually active residents.
Planned Parenthood - Bedford Heights Surgery Center and Cuyahoga County Board of Health are options that people living in University Heights can turn to for comprehensive STD screening and treatment.
Various clinics provide free STD testing as an option. However, you might experience challenges such as a lack of appointment hours, the unavailability of prescription medication, and inconsistent wait times.
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.

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

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.
