Cimarron Hills, CO, is a census-designated place and an unincorporated community in El Paso County. Public health records showed that the county had a fluctuating number of new HIV-positive patients between 2015 and 2017.
In 2017, the county’s surveillance team reported 29 HIV infections, which rose to 43 in the following year, and then reduced to 35 cases in the final year of reference.
That aside, a downward development was noted in terms of the number of Syphilis diagnoses between 2017 and 2018. 29 cases had been recorded in 2017 at a rate of 4.1 per 100,000 population, whereas 2018 had 27 positive cases occurring at a rate of 3.8 in every cluster of 100,000 subjects.
Furthermore, there was a spike in the number of new Gonorrhea infections from 1,072 new infections in 2017, prevailing at a rate of 152.9 to 1,262 cases in the following year, recorded at a rate of 176.6 per 100,000 individuals.
Similarly, there was an increase in the number of newly diagnosed Chlamydia infections between the same time frame, where 3,748 cases were reported in 2017 at an incidence rate of 534.5 and 4,015 in 2018, happening at a rate of 561.9.
Strategies being implemented by El Paso County’s public health department to help control the spread of HIV/STDs are funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. These programs have allowed public health officials to enhance the availability of screening options, subsidize the cost of preventive medications such as PrEP and PEP, and improve partner service efficiency.
Apart from the El Paso County Public Health Department, you can receive comprehensive HIV/STD services at QwikCareMD Urgent Care Center, Planned Parenthood - Colorado Springs Westside Health Center, and the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center.
While some centers may offer free STD testing, you may need an appointment to receive services. At other clinics, your reason for visiting may be quite apparent to everyone else.
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.

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.
