Emporia, KS sits in Shawnee County where STD rates have risen dramatically.
According to reports, the county had the highest gonorrhea rate of all counties in the state and above U.S. averages indicated by 2017 figures. Rates of chlamydia are also above average for the population and syphilis numbers have increased as well.
Last year there were 825 new cases of gonorrhea, 1,284 of chlamydia and 26 new syphilis incidents. The rate per 100,000 of the population for gonorrhea had risen from 174.3 in 2015 to 468.6 in 2018 as compared to 87.5 to 180.8 statewide. For chlamydia the rate has climbed from 501.7 in 2015 to 720.6 in 2018 whereas it jumped from 396.2 in 2015 to 488.9 in 2018 statewide.
The county has, however, consistently seen above-average rates as compared to the rest of the state for the ten-year-period spanning 2008 and 2018, county figures suggest.
Syphilis is the exception for which there has been a lower than state average rate for the disease.
“These statistics are alarming and pose concerns for the community’s health and well being. the health department should work to figure out how to reduce rates, which are impacting the county’s overall health ranking in Kansas.”

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.
