Gonorrhea rates in the county saw a significant spike from 2016 to 2017 as the number of newly reported cases rose from 242 cases in 2016 to 409 cases in 2017.
The good news is that syphilis rates, including primary and secondary stage syphilis, dropped from 9 newly reported cases in 2016 to 5 newly reported cases in 2017.
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), HIV rates in Northampton County remained steady from 2016 to 2017 with there being 6 newly reported cases in both years.
There are several healthcare facilities located in Easton, PA, that might offer HIV and STD testing, including Bailey Health Center, HOPE at St. Luke’s Hospital, and Planned Parenthood – Easton Health Center. Residents can also travel into nearby Bethlehem for access to additional clinics that may offer STD testing, such as Navus ACS and New Directions Treatment Services.
In addition, there are numerous private healthcare centers and doctor offices that may provide STD and HIV testing. Many of these practices are located in the streets surrounding the Easton Hospital or along Northampton Street.
Some medical clinics advertise low-cost or free STD testing. While these tests might be a good option for some residents, it’s important to realize that some of these clinics may not provide access to a physician, so you may need to go to a second location for treatment options.
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.
