Wildwood, TN, is a census-designated place in Blount County with famous historical sites such as the Bethlehem Methodist Church and Wildwood Resort & Marina for tourist attractions. Despite all the charm, HIV infections continue to be a big deal in the county.
Based on recent data reports, HIV incidences among people aged 13 and older in Blount County have risen. In 2017, there were 94 new HIV cases, and in 2020, the county reported 127 infections.
In the East Tennessee Public Health region, where Blount County lies, STD infections have also surged over the last few years.
Chlamydia cases rose from 2,515 reports at a rate of 326.4 in 2018 to 2,494 new diagnoses in 2019 at a rate of 321.3.
In 2018, the number of people infected with Gonorrhea was 777, prevailing at a rate of 100.9. By 2019, the cases reduced slightly to 773 at a rate of 99.6.
Syphilis infections for all stages rose from 61 incidences in 2018 at a rate of 7.9 to 74 in 2019 at a rate of 9.5.
To lower HIV/STD infections, The Harm Reduction and Syringe Services Program at Blount County Health Department offers comprehensive services such as free sterile syringes and injection supplies to IDUS. It also provides HIV and Hepatitis patients with immediate linkage to medical case management, prevention education and counseling, and other social support services.
Planned Parenthood - Knoxville Health Center, PARKMed Urgent Care - Maryville/Blount, and Blount Memorial Hospital are a few of the facilities where residents of Wildwood, TN, may choose to go for HIV/STD testing.
Clinics offering free STD testing services in the area are not many compared to other health centers. Another issue is that they might only be targeting specific groups of people. As such, not everyone can access the no-cost service.
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.

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.
