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.

According to the policies of the state of Michigan and its Department of Education, sex Instruction should emphasize that students have the power to control personal behavior and should base their actions on accurate information, values, reasoning, a sense of responsibility, and respect for self and others.
Education programs should address the needs of all students. This is the view expressed by the Department of Education for the state of Michigan.
This means it should include those who abstain from sexual activity. It should also include those who engaged in sexual activity but are now abstaining. It should also include those who will decide to engage in sexual activity in the future. The content of sex education must be consistent with the Michigan Department of Education and their Health Education Content Standards. This information must be medically accurate. It must also include current information.
Abstinence from risky sexual behavior must be stressed as the only certain way to avoid HIV, other STIs, and pregnancy. Again, this is the requirement of the Department of Education of the state of Michigan. Let’s remember that 43 percent of Michigan high school students reported they had sexual intercourse. Sex education Instruction should address methods to reduce risks for HIV, other STDs, and unintended pregnancy.
Let’s also remember that according to the Michigan Department of Education our society requires an educational system that supports programs addressing varied needs. These are needs of a diverse student population. The approach and teaching should be nondiscriminatory.
Demographics play a role in STD rates in your area and state.
For chlamydia let’s look at the demographics for gender and age with females in higher numbers than males. Ages 20 to 24 saw the largest numbers with fewest numbers less than 15 years old and 25 or older.
For gonorrhea we see more females than males with cases and a high rate for the 20 to 24 age range. Rates were lowest for those under age 15 and over age 24.
For syphilis we see males with a higher number of cases. We see a variety of numbers for various ages with the highest number for the highest age range of 30 to 44 followed by ages 20 to 24.
