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.

Poverty is among the greatest risk factor that has been identified for impacts on sexual health in the area. There are significant pockets in the population of people at or below the poverty level. What this means is that many of them have not had the education about the need for safe sex for STD prevention. The dropout rates are higher than those from more affluent homes. Resources to receive testing are also fewer and quality health care options are more limited. While it is true that there are free centers for testing in the region, these clinics depend upon block grants to provide services at free or reduced rates. When the resources are depleted, there is often a waiting period until funds are replenished. People who are in need of testing and treatment may not have any other alternatives other than waiting. This can pose a serious hazard to their overall health and can also increase the spread of the disease if they are infected.
According to the analytics, women are twice as likely as men to test positive for Chlamydia with those age 20 to 24 the most at risk followed by the 15 to 19 year age bracket. Blacks have the highest rates followed by Whites, then Hispanics. Men have slightly higher rates for Gonorrhea and Syphilis with male to male sex resulting most often in dual diagnoses of HIV, Syphilis and Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections.
The state government officials realize the scope of the problem and have taken measures to reach as many in high risk categories as possible. Public health forums are sponsored by local clinics, health care providers and special interest groups to distribute literature and tell the community about the services that are available. PSAs are aired to encourage anyone who may be at risk to come in for testing. Pregnant women are routinely screened for STD infection as a part of their prenatal health care regimens. All public schools provide mandatory sexual health education for students at the age prior to when some will begin experimenting with their sexuality. These students learn about the consequences of unprotected sex including unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases of all types. They learn about the signs and symptoms to watch for and that not all STDs present symptoms in the early stages. Upon completion, they will know where to go for a Herpes test or for HIV testing.
The most compelling risk factor for getting an STD is if you have had unprotected sex with a partner and you are not certain that they are monogamous. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, it doesn’t mean that you are not infected. The only way to know for certain is to get tested. You can be assured that your privacy will be protected with confidential STD testing. Ordering your test is easy and you only need drop by a local lab to complete the process. Friendly staff can answer your questions and get you in and out of the clinic quickly. Avoid the complications that can happen by ignoring the problem. Find the peace of mind that you need by making the time to get tested so you will know for certain.
