St. Louis County ranks among the STD hotbeds in the US, recording the highest chlamydia rates in the country. Besides, the region was also highlighted as one of the regions with the highest spikes in syphilis transmission rates.
An annual STD surveillance by the Center for Disease and Control & Prevention (CDC) unwrapped the syphilis situation, and the county recorded a 42% increase in the syphilis cases in 2017.
In the health report released in September 2017, the rates of chlamydia were so high that in every 72 individuals, there was one (1) chlamydia incident. However, for gonorrhea, the rate was one (1) incident per 133 population.
In collaboration with the Washington University School of Medicine, the St. Louis County Health, offers technical assistance to community local health centers. The campus’ STD/HIV Prevention Training Program focuses on providing professional caregivers with top-notch medical research skills and vast knowledge about STD and sexual health.
For testing purposes, you can choose to visit one of the STD care centers located within Wildwood town. The ST. Louis County Health Department (North Central Clinic) lies along South Central. The health center may provide anonymous testing, counseling services, and treatment.
In addition, you can head down to the Saint Louis Effort for AIDS center on Locust Street, or the St. Louis Thrive Women’s Healthcare situated in different parts of the county, including St Louis on Lindell Blvd.
Getting free STD testing may be offered by neighboring health facilities, but comes with disadvantages. For example, the service may not be available, or the tests might not be free as you thought.
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.
