Wake Forest, a large urban metropolitan area in Wake County, lies just north of Raleigh and is susceptible to the same increase in STDs seen throughout NC. Among them is an increase in HIV/AIDS prevalence, with 3,818 new HIV cases and 1,778 cases of AIDS recorded in 2017.
Additionally, the presence of syphilis has almost doubled since 2013. In 2013, 65 cases of primary and secondary syphilis and a prevalence rate of 6.7 were recorded, whereas 117 cases and a prevalence rate of 10.9 were recorded in 2017.
Gonorrhea statistics in Wake County are also troubling, with 1,215 cases reported in 2013 compared to 2,080 cases in 2017.
To curb the increase of STDs in Wake Forest, Wake County’s Human Services Department offers a comprehensive range of treatment and prevention programs, including an HIV/STD Community Program that provides testing, treatment, and supportive services such as counseling to people living with HIV/AIDS.
The Human Services department of Wake County government also offers an outreach program that provides essential prevention services such as PrEP, and information sessions that cover signs and symptoms of common STDs, and the treatment options available.
The County also runs a Parents Matter program, which aids parents to become better health educators for their children, and the Wake County HIV Faith Coalition that provides the African-American community with HIV prevention education.
Furthermore, health clinics in the area might offer free STD testing to Wake Forest residents. However, free services may only be available to those who meet pre-specified income criteria, and only certain screening tests might be covered.
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.

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.
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.
