Among New Hampshire's counties, Hillsborough ranks as the region with the highest number of STDs, with Manchester and Nashua being the two STI hotbeds. The most common STDs reported were gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
According to a 2014-2018 New Hampshire STD/HIV Surveillance Program, in 2014-2016, chlamydia cases in the county rose from 848 to 1,458. The figure reduced to 1,282 in 2017 before another increase to 1,331 in 2018.
On the other token, Hillsborough County documented a 31.3% increase in gonorrhea cases between 2017-2018, from 236 cases to 310. Over the five years (2014-2018), syphilis rates shot from 5.9 per 100,000 population to 12.0.
In the war against STDs and HIV, the "Let's Stop HIV Together" program was created. It raises mass awareness, put a stop to the HIV stigma, and reduce the risk of transmission among high-risk groups. Thus, the initiative integrates various resources and stakeholders to end new HIV infections, stop the stigma, and promote testing and treatment.
If you live in Bedford, you can access STD/HIV testing services from the Manchester City Health Department STD clinic situated along Elm St. The clinic may provide testing services for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and HIV on an appointment basis.
Alternatively, you can visit the Nashua Community Health Department STD Specialty clinic situated on Mulberry St and the Planned Parenthood STD Center nestled at 24 Pennacook St.
Low-cost care or free STD testing centers may be available within the region. The problems with these clinics are that the opening and waiting times may be inconsistent, and people might know why you visited the clinics. Additionally, the prescriptions might not be available if your results turn positive or you might be charged for other STD tests.
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.
