Allendale is a census-designated place in Ottawa County. According to the Ottawa County Department of Public Health’s report, there was an increase in HIV infections from 105 per 100,000 persons in 2015 to 121 in 2020.
Chlamydia infections in the county increased from 708 in 2014 to 973 in 2017, followed by a slight decrease to 926 cases in 2018. The report also noted widespread Gonorrhea infections among county residents, where cases increased by more than double from 82 recorded in 2014 to 183 in 2018.
On the other hand, the overall rate of Syphilis cases slightly dropped from eight in 2014 to six cases in 2018. The decline was due to increased educational campaigns across the county.
Ottawa County health department has developed programs that may help eradicate HIV/STD infections. Such programs include HIV Prevention programs that assist with counseling, sex education, and referral services. Prevention programs enable accessibility to HIV diagnosis, condoms, treatment, and STD awareness campaigns through educational institutions and community-based partners.
Planned Parenthood - Irwin/Martin Health Center, NOCHS Urgent Care, and Metro Health GVSU Campus Health Center are among the health centers in the middle of Ottawa County that provide HIV/STD services. Clients may also opt to visit Mercy Health General Campus and Spectrum Health Zeeland Community Hospital.
Individuals might be lucky to find clinics that offer free STD testing. However, consultation might be an extra charge, and prescriptions for after test care might not be available if you're tested positive.
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.
