Approximately 6,675 Detroit residents are living with HIV. Rates for the three most commonly reported STDs in 2016 were: 510.6 per 100,000 residents for chlamydia, 158.4 per 100,000 residents for gonorrhea, and 5.9 per 100,000 residents for syphilis.
Although the number for syphilis might seem low, this is a disease that was rare for more than two decades.
The rates of growth are alarming and staying safe through regular STD testing and safe sex practices are now more vital than ever before.
Don’t wait for the onset of symptoms to seek out medical assistance. Testing and information are the first and most vital step to maintaining a long and healthy life, free of STDs and their long-term effects.
Detroit has many private and public locations throughout the city for STD testing. For example, you can find a Planned Parenthood location on Cass Avenue and a Detroit Public Health STD and TB Clinics location on East Canfield Street. The city also offers free STD testing, though a fee may be required. To find a clinic near you, call or visit the city’s government website.
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.

This friendly city has a lot to offer both visitors and residents alike. While the local officials have great pride in the resiliency of the city, they are also aware of a growing issue with reported cases of sexually transmitted disease infections.

Ordering testing is easy and with a quick 15 to 20 minute visit to a local lab, you can have your testing results on their way.
STD testing centers, free clinics, private physicians and hospitals all participate in reporting of STD cases. The information that is sent is useful in compiling reports that show which groups of people are reporting the highest number of cases for each type of sexually transmitted disease. The data is analyzed, and the generated reports are helpful in choosing the segments of the population which are at the highest risk, and targeting them for informational campaigns to help increase public awareness.The numbers shown below are figures which are based upon reported cases of each respective STD per 100,000.
The actual number of infected persons is believed to be much higher because of the lack of screening.

The creation of STD testing clinics which specialize in these types of screenings are a direct response to the overwhelming public need for these specialized services. They are necessary in the community for the maintenance of the best possible sexual health. Students in the public school system learn about STD clinics and where to get a Herpes test or HIV testing as a part of the school curriculum. Sexual health education has been mandated by state and local authorities in an attempt to decrease the spread of sexually transmitted disease and help young people to understand the consequences of unsafe sex. Youth are targeted for this education at the average age when sexual experimentation begins for some.
The data fully supports the fact that there are some groups of persons who are at a significantly higher risk for contracting certain types of sexually transmitted diseases than others. Although anyone who has unsafe sex is potentially at risk, there are higher incidences among some groups with regard to age, ethnicity and gender. Socioeconomic status is also a risk factor since some people might have less access to sexual health education and quality medical services for testing and treatment options.
Chlamydia is in a slight decline over past years, which is a good indicator, but the numbers are still high. Women make up the gender group with the highest rates. Those 20 – 24 are highest followed by those 15 to 19 years old, showing a trend for teenagers becoming infected. This ups the stakes for educational measures in the public school system. The next highest group is males ages 20 to 24, followed by males age 15 to 19. Persons of Black race hae the highest numbers of infections followed by Hispanics, then White.
Gonorrhea is seen most often in women age 20 to 24 followed by girls age 15 to 19, males age 20 to 24 and males age 30 to 44. As with the trends seen in Chlamydia infections, from an ethnic perspective, Blacks rate the highest in positive cases.
Syphilis (all types) is most commonly reported in Black men age 30 to 44, then 20 to 24 followed by those in the 20 to 25 group. Hispanics have the second highest rates, followed by White males with females coming in at significantly lower infection rates across the ages and ethnicities.
Although there are free clinics available, funds may run low from time to time, making it necessary for people who really need testing to wait for the next funding cycle to start. This can help to further spread STD infections in the area.
STD testing is easy to order and it is a quick process. If you think you are at any level of risk for infection, it makes sense to avoid the worry and stress involved with wondering. After you order your testing, you just need to stop in at the lab. If you have any questions, they can answer them so you’ll have the information that is needed. Your testing results will arrive shortly and you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the city without the stress of wondering if you have an STD. You owe it to yourself to maintain the best health that is possible. Knowledge is power.
