East Hartford, CT is a town filled with New England charm. You can catch a game at Rentschler Stadium or enjoy several local breweries in the area. However, public officials are concerned over the rise in STDs in the East Hartford area. Although cases in East Hartford are considered to be relatively low, compared to rated in other areas of country, there is still a significant reason for concern.
Rates of chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea rose have been on the rise every year in all cities across Connecticut. Nearly 14,028 cases of chlamydia were reported in Connecticut in 2015 and this number has continued to rise. The increased use of dating apps and casual hook-ups has been blamed as partially responsible for this trend.
In 2017, there were 27,814 new cases of syphilis across Connecticut, increasing the concern for everyone to get tested.
Connecticut provides state funding for residents who meet certain income guidelines for STD testing. Planned Parenthood has free and low-cost options for those who meet income requirements. However, you can experience inconsistent wait times and they might not accept all insurance types.
There are also private testing facilities that are located in private practices. Some are supported by community resources such as Hartford Gay & Lesbian health collective and AIDS Connecticut.
East Harford has many ways to enjoy life, and getting tested for STDs is one way to make sure that you are healthy and able to enjoy this thriving community.
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.
