The town of Westfield, NJ is part of Union County. A community with roughly 30,000 people, it was ranked by Bloomberg in March of 2018 as the 18th wealthiest city in New Jersey. Unfortunately, this has not saved them from the growing STD epidemic that is affecting the nation.
In fact, from 2014 to 2018, Westfield saw a 45% increase in the number of cases of STDs reported. Moreover, Union County realized an 11.1% growth in its STD prevalence rate during that period.
Conversely, the HIV prevalence rate for this area dropped by 10.8% during that five-year period while the state’s rate fell by a much less impressive 2.9%.
Our community is reporting a higher prevalence rate for STDs and HIV than the entire state of New Jersey.
For those in the Westfield community that want to get tested for STDs or HIV, there are a few options available. These public resources may provide STD and HIV screenings among other services.
Planned Parenthood has three clinic locations within ten miles of Westfield. The Elizabeth Health Clinic is roughly seven miles to the west in Elizabeth and approximately ten miles northeast is East Orange Health Center. Also about ten miles from Westfield is Perth Amboy Center to the southeast.
Springfield to the north of Westfield offers two possible locations for testing. The CVS MinuteClinic and Empire Medical Associates which are both located on Morris Avenue.
Please keep in mind that while some health centers offer free STD testing, that does not mean it is equal to paid testing. These services may be offered at inconvenient locations and time. Furthermore, they might not offer fast results or testing for all STDs.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.
