Grayson County health officials are battling a recent sharp increase in the new diagnosis of STDs in Denison, TX. The recent CDC surveillance report indicated that failure to use protection during sex and having multiple sexual partners are some of the reasons leading to the soaring statistics of the new cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis, among other STDs.
Information from the Texas 2017 STD Surveillance Report shows that Grayson County had 359 chlamydia incidences in 2010, with a rate of 296.6. By 2017, the STD’s rate had risen to 353.8, with 464 new cases of chlamydia.
The STD report further indicated that in 2010, Grayson County recorded 81 cases of gonorrhea. Even though the STD’s incidences hit 196 cases in 2016, they reduced by 2.04% in 2017. That year, 192 individuals were infected with the STDs.
Denison City Health Department, CDC’s community approach and the federal government-funded programs have been very instrumental in the fight against the spread of STDs. These programs have made testing and treatment of STDs more accessible to the residents of Denison City.
For testing services, you could consider visiting the Grayson County Health Department, True Options Pregnancy Center, Texoma Medical Center, CBD American Shaman Denison, and Primary Medicine of Sherman.
Alternatively, you may consider visiting one of the free STD testing clinics located across Denison City. However, some free facility may not prescribe treatment; others may only contact you when the results are positive, which might take up to 2 weeks. Also, they may be operating on certain days and offer tests for fewer infections.
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.
