Cuyahoga County, where Warrensville Heights lies, has in recent years reported an upward surge in the number of people diagnosed with new HIV infections. The county recorded 4,122 new infections in 2017 from 3,939 in 2016, and there was a significant increase to 4,330 in 2018.
Chlamydia recorded the highest STD numbers and infection rate, with 10,108 cases occurring at a prevalence rate of 809.1 in 2016. However, the new infection incident rate flattened in 2017 and 2018 at 885.5, but the count was 11,055 and 11,056 respectively.

That was followed by a drop to 4,563 new cases occurring at a rate of 365.5 per 100,000 population in 2018.
There was a mixture of upward and downward spirals in syphilis cases, having an upward surge in 2017 by recording 378 infections at a rate of 30.3 per 100,000 persons, up from 329 cases occurring at a prevalence rate of 26.3 in 2016.

The county health department commits to reducing and preventing the spread of HIV and STDs by delivering services such as risk reduction counseling, testing, and referral services to sexually active residents. It also oversees programs that offer safer sex education during community events.
Planned Parenthood - Bedford Heights Surgery Center, Cleveland Clinic - South Pointe Hospital, and Family Health and Surgery Center Beachwood are options that residents can choose to get STD screening services.
Some clinics offer free STD testing, and they may offer the services exclusively hence people may know why you are there. Another drawback of zero-cost services is a lack of an appointment option.
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.
