Louisiana has the second highest sexually transmitted disease rates in the United States. Chlamydia has since 1994 been the most common STD, with gonorrhea and syphilis following. Other STDS include HIV/AIDs, Hepatitis B & C and herpes just to mention a few.
According to the US CDC 2016 survey report, the three prevalent sexually transmitted diseases chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis continue to be a national concern to the health authorities. Syphilis in 2016 had a rate of 16.1 cases per 100,000 the second highest after Washington DC. Chlamydia stood at a worrying 679.3 cases per 100,000 people while gonorrhea at 230.8 cases within the same period.
The report pointed out gays and bisexuals as the most vulnerable to primary and secondary syphilis. Congenital syphilis skyrocketed by 28% with about 628 babies born with the disease; a major system failure. Chlamydia largely affected young women and was more twice prevalent in women than men.
Health authorities has launched the Start it! Louisiana campaign; one among many other programs aimed at creating public awareness and extend medical service closer to the populace. The CDC has also funded STD prevention and control initiatives with up to $14 million to manage new infections within the county.
STD screening and testing services are available at the Know For Sure Clinic along 3813 N Flannery road, Care Pregnancy Clinic along the same street and Lake After Hours Health Centre on 8751 Sullivan road.
Local health centers may offer free STD screening and testing within the Louisiana County. The free STD services are limited because the scope of services might involve long waiting hours to be attended and multiple payment methods may not be available.
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.
