The 31,294 populated suburb of Wheat Ridge, CO is in Jefferson County and county figures for STD cases are collected by the department of health. There has been a fairly stable trend with regards to the rate of new chlamydia cases in Jefferson County, which has a population of 659,197 according to the 2017 census. Although the numbers have risen slightly the average also sits below state averages.
In 2006, a county community health needs assessment found that there were 192 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 of the population and in 2016 there were 203 cases per 100,000.
There has been a slight uptick in the rate of new gonorrhea cases in the county, in 2006 there were 33.2 cases per 100,000 of the population and in 2016 there were 47.1, which are rates also below state numbers.

We are starting to see infections that are less sensitive to one of the two main antibiotics used to treat gonorrhea. While there haven’t been any failures yet, anyone with the infection should get treated ASAP to avoid serious health issues.”

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.
