Health officials in North Dakota are worried about STD rates, which are rising, especially among young people. North Dakota requires sex ed in schools, but youth are not learning enough from it, and health officials urge parents to talk to their kids about sex as well, no matter how awkward the conversation is.
One problem is that most STIs are asymptomatic in the early stages, so those infected do not suspect it, and meanwhile they are spreading the disease to others.
In 2016, Cass County had an HIV prevalence rate of 95.1 per 100K people, above North Dakota’s rate of 60.3. That’s a low rate, but the bacterial STD rates are more worrying. The same year, Cass County’s chlamydia rate was 504.9 per 100K people. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 128.9 and 7.
There are only a few STD-testing clinics in Fargo, but the city clinic provides free STD testing for HIV only. Planned Parenthood is located just across the state line in Moorhead, Minnesota. They test for STIs and treat all except HIV, and the fee is on a sliding scale. Fargo Cass Public Health also provides confidential STD testing.
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.

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.

The available reports are generated from hard facts gathered about clients who received testing. Because of the demographical data that is included for each, a pattern has developed and remained consistent over the past five years. It shows that Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD and that women test positive twice as often as men do. Both men and women in the twenty to twenty four year age group have higher rates than others. Gonorrhea rates are a little higher for men than for women and the same is observed for diagnoses of Syphilis. According to the reports, Blacks have the highest numbers of positive STD tests followed by Alaskan Native/Native Americans, then Hispanics.
Poverty is believed to be an additional factor because there are less resources available for testing and treatment and on top of that, a lack of education.
This area has many concentrations of people who are at or below the poverty level. It means that many of them lack financial resources for testing and treatment. Many will not have completed the currently mandated sex education classes in public schools so they may not be aware of their risk or the importance of safe sexual practices. Some who are already infected will not know because not every sexually transmitted disease presents itself with immediate symptoms. Testing is not as prolific as is required in these populations and more needs to be done to spread the word about sexual health and risk.
Students attending sex education courses sponsored by the public school system will know where they should go for a Herpes or any other type of STD test. Embarrassment is a potential obstacle because some are afraid that their friends and family will find out. The truth is that these are the people that need to know about the confidentiality laws that are in place to protect their privacy. All STD testing clinics maintain strict privacy standards. They are there to serve the health needs of the public. Free testing centers base the fees for their services on income level and clients may qualify for reduced or even free STD testing services.
There is no need to put yourself through unnecessary worry over whether or not you have an STD. Go get tested so you can move past worry and do better things with your time. Ordering STD testing is really easy. All you will need to do after ordering is to follow up with a quick lab visit that shouldn’t take any more than fifteen or twenty minutes at the most to finish up. Staff are diligent to keep your visit private and confidential and if you have any questions when you arrive, they are there to assist. Don’t spend another minute of your time worrying whether or not you have an STD. Get tested and move on.
