Essex County saw a spike in STD diagnoses in 2016 with an increase in the diagnosis rate of all STDs by nearly 5 percent between 2012 and 2016. The New Jersey State Health Department is attributing the increase to the rise in dating apps and a generation of teens and young adults that didn’t experience the height of the HIV crisis.

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.
