As part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, Chandler shares that city’s STD problems. There were 427 new HIV cases in Maricopa County in 2015, though the rate has stabilized since 2000. 35.2% of people with syphilis also had HIV, as having syphilis is a risk factor for HIV.
In 2016, Maricopa County had a chlamydia rate of 522 per 100K people, and a gonorrhea rate of 155.
Health officials blame the fact that sex education is not mandated in Arizona schools, so young people engaging in sexual activity do not know how to protect themselves. This lack of awareness continues into higher education, with nearby Arizona State University having the highest STD count of any US university.
Chandler has a number of STD-testing clinics, and there are more options in Phoenix and Tempe if you can get there (and larger cities tend to have free STD testing options). NextCare Urgent Care provides STI testing at several locations around Chandler.
The Chandler Family Health Center, located on Hamilton St, screens for STDs. Maricopa County Public Health, on Roosevelt St in Phoenix, tests for HIV, chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea. And the CVS MinuteClinic on West Chandler Blvd also provides basic STD screening.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
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.

Residents of the small city of Chandler have the advantage of being part of the greater Phoenix metro area, but this has also resulted in a high STD percentage rate.
Statistics also show that young women are more likely to test positive for Gonorrhea, and these numbers have almost doubled from 2005 to 2014. Incidents of primary and secondary Syphilis have also risen to a total of 396 cases in 2014. Other statistics that indicate STDs are on the rise include;

There is currently not any standardized programs in place in Maricopa County, which includes the public school system in Chandler. This lack of any comprehensive program has lead many educators to point out the ridiculously high rate of teen pregnancies, along with the growing number of students who test positive for one or more sexually transmitted diseases.
In response some school officials point out that there are abstinence only programs already in place in the area’s high schools, and some districts are allowing limited sexual education classes. While this does not cover the importance of following safe sexual practices and regular STD testing, officials point out that the resources are there if students are willing to look for them.
Unfortunately this is part of the problem, and until the city implements a standardized sexual education program that deals with STDs and the importance of regular testing, residents of Chandler can expect to see teen pregnancies and students testing positive for infectious diseases continue to rise.
Maricopa County is also home to the Arizona State Correctional Facility, and inmates are contributing to the problem. STD rates are on the rise in the prison system, and many of those infected are spreading it to others on their release from jail. Decreases in spending budgets have lead to several cuts in the prison system, which includes sexual education classes and regular STD screenings.
When a lack of education is combined with the inability to easily access affordable STD testing it is common to see STD rates rise, and residents of Chandler are currently experiencing this.
In between visits to the Chandler Fashion Center and the fascinating Railway Museum get STD testing. While this is an important step to ensure your continued good sexual health, many residents put this off due to long lines at the clinics. Don’t sacrifice your privacy at a public AIDS or HIV clinic, get your testing done anonymously. STI clinics are usually open seven days a week, and they’re affordable with/out insurance.
