According to the Kandiyohi County Department of Health, the dramatic increase in HIV cases in Willmar city, the county seat of Kandiyohi County, was due to a reduction in federal spending to address the viral infection. HIV cases rose from 16 at a rate of 46 in 2014 to 23 at a rate of 66 in 2018.
The 142 Chlamydia cases at a rate of 336 reported in 2018 indicated an outbreak of the bacterial infection more so in the female population. The county health reports also noted a total of 30 Gonorrhea infections at a rate of 71 per 100,000 people in 208.
Syphilis infections were almost exclusively among males more so in men who have sex with men. The cases have been growing slowly over the years, and by the end of 2018, the rate of the infections was at 9.2 per 100,000 individuals.
Kandiyohi County Department of Health’s strategy to lower HIV/STD infection rates in the county involves harmonizing Ryan White services with health care systems to reach people from the low-income community living with HIV infections and ensuring all county residents have access to regular STD screening at low to free cost.
Wilmar city has some clinics that provide free STD testing, but the tests may not include risk reduction counseling, and multiple methods of payments might not be available.
You may check your sexual health by visiting Carris Health - Willmar Main Clinic or Planned Parenthood - Willmar Clinic, which are some of the hospitals located at the heart of the city. Carris Health - Rice Memorial Hospital and Kandiyohi County Health and Human Services are some of the options you can explore for reproductive health matters.
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.
