Many communities around the country are dealing with a significant increase in the number of newly reported STD cases, and the city of Chillicothe, Ohio, located in Ross County, is no exception.
Ohio state records show that both chlamydia and gonorrhea rates rose steadily from 2014 to 2017. In fact, chlamydia rates rose by more than 40 percent over this timeframe, as the number of newly reported chlamydia cases jumped from 183 cases in 2014 to 259 cases in 2018.
Gonorrhea rates, on the other hand, nearly doubled over this same timeframe, as the number of newly reported cases spiked from 50 cases in 2014 to 98 cases in 2018. County records also show that the majority of newly reported STD cases involved residents between the ages of 15 and 29 years old.
Syphilis rates from 2014 to 2018 more than tripled, as the rate of newly reported syphilis cases rose from 2.6 cases for every 100,000 residents in 2014 to 9.1 cases for every 100,000 residents in 2018.
The Ross County Surveillance Report for 2017 shows that the rate of residents in the county living with HIV at the end of 2017 was 84.1 cases out of every 100,000 residents.
There are several possible STD testing locations in Chillicothe, Ohio, including the Adena Urgent Care – Western Avenue, Hope Clinic, and Ross County Health Department. In addition, local physicians and private healthcare centers may also offer STD or HIV testing. Many private practices in the Chillicothe area are located along Western Avenue or near Route 35.
Ross County residents can also take the one-hour trek north into Columbus, which may offer additional HIV and STD testing centers, such as The Women’s Clinic of Columbus, Planned Parenthood – Franklinton Health Center, Columbus Public Health Department, and Clinic, Founder’s Women’s Health Center, and Ohio Association of Free Clinics.
Some testing locations may even promote low-cost or free STD testing solutions, but residents may need to meet specific income eligibility guidelines. Also, the center may only accept walk-in appointments, which means you may experience longer wait times.
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.
