Every year, there is concern among the Middlesex County health officials because of the increasing number of STD incidences in the county. In 2016, there were record-high numbers of STDs in the US, including Middlesex.
According to a CDC Report posted on MassLive, new cases of chlamydia in Middlesex County totaled 4,729 in 2016 with a rate of 298.3 cases per 100,000 individuals. In 2015, the numbers were lower – 4,152 incidences with a prevalence of 261.9.
Additionally, there was a 24.8% increase in the gonorrhea rate in 2015-2016, resulting in 877 incidences. Over the same period, there was a 37.8% increase in syphilis morbidity, from 4.5 to 6.2.
The Boston Integrated HIV Prevention Plan (2017-2021) include the Ryan White Part A funding that aims to offer medical and support services to PLWHA. This initiative aims to reduce HIV infections, increase access to medical care for better health outcomes, and reduce the disparities and inequality in rendering HIV care.
By getting tested, you can minimize STD spread. One of the testing clinics which may provide STD services is the Middlesex County Office of Health Services. You may also visit the Planned Parenthood in Boston on Commonwealth Ave.
Wilmington residents can also visit the South End Community Health Center on Washington St, the Project SHINE clinic along Paris St or the X Clinic also nestled on Washington St, Boston.
Alternatively, nearby clinics might offer low-cost or free STD testing within or near Wilmington. However, these facilities may not allow you to consult doctors on site and you may only be restricted to one mode of payment. Additionally, the health centers might not test all STDs and there might be a possibility of delaying the results for about two weeks.
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.
